Book cover for The Machine Stops
Men made it, do not forget that. Great men, but men. The Machine is much, but it is not everything. I see something like you in this plate, but I do not see you. I hear something like you through this telephone, but I do not hear you.

H.G. Wells
“The Tasmanians,1 in spite of their human likeness, were entirely swept out of existence in a war of extermination waged by European immigrants, in the space of fifty years. Are we such apostles of mercy as to complain if the Martians warred in the same spirit?”
H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds

H.G. Wells
“Strange night! Strangest in this, that so soon as dawn had come, I, who had talked with God, crept out of the house like a rat leaving its hiding place—a creature scarcely larger, an inferior animal, a thing that for any passing whim of our masters might be hunted and killed. Perhaps they also prayed confidently to God. Surely, if we have learned nothing else, this war has taught us pity—pity for those witless souls that suffer our dominion.”
H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds

Adam Hochschild
“In 1890, George Washington Williams had called for the Congo to be under rule that would be “local, not European; international, not national.” But it would be more than three decades later before even the most ardently anticolonialist intellectuals, in Europe, Africa, or the Americas, said much like this again.”
Adam Hochschild, King Leopold's Ghost

David Wallace-Wells
“The problem, it turns out, is not an overabundance of humans but a dearth of humanity.”
David Wallace-Wells, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming

David Wallace-Wells
“Exactly how we regard the shape of history in a time of climate change will be shaped by how much we do to avert that change and how much we let it remodel everything about our lives. In the meantime, possibilities fan out as extravagantly as the paint chips on a color wheel.”
David Wallace-Wells, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming
