Stars and Bones Quotes

“We saw a dying star being pulled into a black hole. Watched icy comets graze the atmospheres of super-Jovian gas giants. Discovered a matching pair of Earth-like planets locked in an orbital dance around a hot, young star, their oceans seething with the potential for life.”
― Gareth L. Powell, Stars and Bones

“The truth was, we had always been closer to ants and bees than we ever suspected. We just couldn’t see our nests and hives for what they were. We called them nations, armies, political parties, universities, corporations… Non-biological, incorporeal entities able to endure across generations, outliving their original members and accomplishing goals taking more than a single human span to achieve. Goals that, as we saw towards the end of our collective life on Earth, weren’t always in the best interests of the humans themselves.”
― Gareth L. Powell, Stars and Bones
