An Absolutely Remarkable Thing (The Carls, #1)

by Hank Green

In the space of ten minutes of research, my vague understanding of “That Asshole” morphed into a fully fleshed-out mental map of the hairball of hate that was Peter Petrawicki.

The Som was a centralized location for Dreamers to share their skills, their projects, their theories, their failures, and their successes.

As I watched the news, a thought leaked into my mind. The world was tearing itself apart; people were dying.

It was intensely surreal. There was a bit of that “Oh my god, they’ve got three dimensions and a size and a shape and I’m seeing a person with my own eyes that I have previously only seen through the eyes of cameras” feeling that you get with any famous person. That’s a weird thing, and it’s a very interesting and complex experience.
