“Technology is beautiful, but it’s the nature of technology to create more problems to be solved.”
― Jonathan Strahan, The Best Science Fiction & Fantasy of the Year, Volume Thirteen

“I believe in the redeeming power of stories, I believe that stories are incredibly important, possibly in ways we don’t understand, in allowing us to make sense of our lives, in allowing us to escape our lives, in giving us empathy and in creating the world that we live in.”—Neil Gaiman”
― Paula Guran, The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror, 2015 Edition

“ALL ANIMALS ARE UNDER STRINGENT SELECTION PRESSURE TO BE AS STUPID AS THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH. —PETE RICHERSON AND ROBERT BOYD”
― Peter Watts, Echopraxia

“I did not demand that the crows be like me, that their minds resemble my own: I simply cared for them. Why should I base my level of care and concern for them on how much like me they were, rather than loving them for what they were? That I should love only those that resembled myself, and neglect those who lived in other worlds, going about their other lives, seemed absurd to me. Arrogant. I cared for all.”
― Rich Horton, The Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy, 2020
