D Boss's review
of
The Genesis of Change: A Philosophical Prequel (Records of The Orders, #0.5):
"Sometimes the “Genesis of Change” is described as a fantasy book, which may be misleading. This work is not about dragons, elfs and epic quests. We follow alchemists, which are entities transcending time and living (or in the author’s words “existing"

Dune. A deeply unsettling science-fiction classic. It examines how an environment shapes a society and its politics, and how political and economic power intertwine. It touches on the causes for war, and how resources can become a deterrence limiting ...more |

| The Book Thief is historical fiction at its core, but literary due to its presentation; it also blends a distinct speculative element: Death—the grim reaper—as a narrator… but not as the protagonist. It was originally sold as Young Adult fiction, tho ...more | |

“Orwell was dealing with communism and his disillusionment with communism in Russia and what he saw the communists do in Spain. His novel was a response to those political situations. Whereas I was interested in more things than the political atmosphere. I was considering the whole social atmosphere: the impact of TV and radio and the lack of education. I could see the coming event of schoolteachers not teaching reading anymore. The less they taught, the more you wouldn't need books.”

“With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word 'intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be.”

“The most important words a man can say are, “I will do better.” These are not the most important words any man can say. I am a man, and they are what I needed to say.
The ancient code of the Knights Radiant says “journey before destination.” Some may call it a simple platitude, but it is far more. A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us.
But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination. To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one.
I’m certain some will feel threatened by this record. Some few may feel liberated. Most will simply feel that it should not exist. I needed to write it anyway.”
