Sea of Rust (Sea of Rust, #1)

by C. Robert Cargill

It’s harder to get by when getting by is all there is.

And despite the warning, humanity immediately set about forging the path to its own extinction.

Checks out.

“These are the things that life is all about. These moments. It’s not about the rituals. It’s not about getting by. It’s about the stack of tiny little moments of joy and love that add up to a lifetime that’s been worthwhile. You can’t measure them; you can only capture them, like snapshots in your mind. All that joy, all that greatness, that’s God.”

We have become the very worst parts of our makers, without the little things, the good things, the magic things, that made them them.
