Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The future is a consequence of the present.”
“Here we are, Alex, on a small rock racing through the universe, currently in darkness because a trillion tons of floating moon has obscured our view of a raging gas fire ninety-three million miles away, itself also racing through this near-infinite universe.”
What if everybody experiences time randomly? It’s just that their memory and conscious thoughts provide a grid—map references for everything—creating the illusion of one chronological, continuous existence.”
We are eternally haunted by our own past and our own future.

“No one forgets their first love.”
Easy way out, isn’t that what people say? Bullshit. It’s one final act of taking back control, in a life that’s left you with no control over anything else.
“You live a life you’re not happy with for long enough, and it’s possible to forget that things could be different.”
The worst our enemies can do is turn us into them.
