"So far, long, drafty, and out-of-focus text where I am missing animals and plants. Why is the first chapter about an AI-driven car? So far I see nothing about the post-human perspective that is being promised in the quotes behind the cover. Boring to read so far!" Mar 10, 2026 07:25AM

Emily Brontë
“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

Virginia Woolf
“Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.”
Virginia Woolf

Francesco Petrarca
“I cannot have a sufficiency of books. Indeed, I have more than I should... Books give utter delight: they talk with us... and are bound to us by lively and witty intimacy, and do not just insinuate themselves alone on their readers but present the names of others, and each one creates a longing for another.”
Francesco Petrarca, Selected Letters, Volume 1

Fernando Pessoa
“Não sou nada.
Nunca serei nada.
Não posso querer ser nada.
À parte isso, tenho em mim todos os sonhos do mundo.”
Fernando Pessoa, Tabacaria e Outros Poemas

“Book-burners try to destroy ideas that differ from their own. Reading does the opposite. It encourages doubt... reading releases you from the limits of yourself.”
John Carey
