Book cover for The Ministry for the Future
a wet-bulb temperature of 35 will kill humans, even if unclothed and sitting in the shade; the combination of heat and humidity prevents sweating from dissipating heat, and death by hyperthermia soon results.

Robin Sloan
“Imagination runs out. But it makes sense, right? We probably just imagine things based on what we already know, and we run out of analogies in the thirty-first century.”
Robin Sloan, Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

Stanley McChrystal
“The temptation to lead as a chess master, controlling each move of the organization, must give way to an approach as a gardener, enabling rather than directing. A gardening approach to leadership is anything but passive. The leader acts as an “Eyes-On, Hands-Off” enabler who creates and maintains an ecosystem in which the organization operates.”
Stanley McChrystal, Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World

Vaclav Smil
“Apocalypse and singularity offer two absolutes: our future will have to lie somewhere within that all-encompassing range.”
Vaclav Smil, How the World Really Works: The Science Behind How We Got Here and Where We're Going

Robin Sloan
“So I switch to my MacBook and make my rounds: news sites, blogs, tweets. I scroll back to find the conversations that happened without me during the day. When every single piece of media you consume is time-shifted, does that mean it’s actually you that’s time-shifted?”
Robin Sloan, Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

Clayton M. Christensen
“This may sound counterintuitive, but I deeply believe that the path to happiness in a relationship is not just about finding someone who you think is going to make you happy. Rather, the reverse is equally true: the path to happiness is about finding someone who you want to make happy, someone whose happiness is worth devoting yourself to.”
Clayton M. Christensen, How Will You Measure Your Life?
