“I used to measure out my weeks on a calendar app shared with four assistants, where every quarter-hour box was filled in with multiple colors of appointment. Now my calendar app is a red plastic stick of seven sequential pill compartments embossed with the days of the week. And even with that handy tool, I sometimes stop and ask my phone: Did we do Tuesday already?”
― Richard Powers, Playground

“WHEN I GOT BACK down to school in early December, I took Rafi and Ina up North of Green with me, to my little carrel on the second floor of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. I sat them down in front of my terminal, which had a direct Ethernet connection to the university’s networked mainframes.”

“Most one-year-olds can do almost everything an adult can, except use a toilet and talk. AND they haven’t yet started the phase of toddlerhood where they’re willful or even a little bit naughty. They’re genuinely very fun and interesting, but they’re still wildly needy and will allow you to cuddle them and kiss them literally all day if you need to. Nothing but nothing is more joyous than a one-year-old.”
― Rob Delaney, A Heart That Works

“felt us traveling on a small craft, piloting through the capital city of the reigning global superpower on the coast of the third largest continent of a smallish, rocky world near the inner rim of the habitable zone of a G-type dwarf star that lay a quarter of the way out to the edge of a dense, large, barred, spiral galaxy that drifted through a thinly spread local cluster in the dead center of the entire universe.”
― Richard Powers, Bewilderment
