"This book is a wild, imaginative dive into vampire lore, blending myth, biology, and cosmic drama with total confidence.

Davide Borrelli
shared a highlight from
A world that denies the existence of pain, where every human being is monotonously identical to the next; where anger and hatred are denied and repressed; where fear is ignored; and where everyone feels responsible for the impossible task of ensuring another’s happiness is, nonetheless, a paradise in which only a fool could believe they might be happy.

shared a highlight from
All the authoritarian regimes of the last century shared a profound distrust of the market, an aversion to individual freedom, and a religious veneration of the "State."

It hits the smartest people hardest, because they are the most invested in believing they are immune to it.”

“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.”
