System Failure Quotes

“Humanity probably thought it was pretty advanced by now; they’d conquered interstellar and intergalactic travel, blowing up an entire galaxy in its wake, and popping into space as easily as one would pop a flash-frozen meal into a microwave for dinner. Science had eradicated scores of diseases that had annihilated populations, the extinction of animal species had practically been halted completely, and dishwashers could get peanut butter completely off spoons. Yet, walking through Haverstown, one would have a hard time imagining that this detritus of mankind had ever managed to escape the gravity of a couch, never mind an entire planet.”
― Joe Zieja, System Failure
