"How much of his writing on the emerging digital economy and the crappy, planned-obsolescence products that folks are still lining up to buy? Fake flying cars and flimsy folding smartphones may just be desperate attempts to keep investors happy with the company’s growth. Hopefully Doctorow realizes the diminishing returns on his tagline “who it does it to and who it does it for” (passim) as a not-so witty maxim." — Oct 23, 2026 11:52PM

"How easily Fforde falls back into Thursday Next's literary tropes while pushing the narrative boundaries into the unfamiliar and astounding regions. Tuesday realigns reality a couple times in the first few chapters which is a neat trick, including an alternate ending for War of the Worlds that might have been in the works the whole time, but allowing the readers to actively participate in the story is novel." — Oct 18, 2026 05:18PM

“Cicero smiled at us. 'The art of life is to deal with problems as they arise, rather than destory one's spirit by worrying about them too far in advance. Especially tonight.”

“This is a work of fiction. Still, given an infinite number of possible worlds, it must be true on one of them. And if a story set in an infinite number of possible worlds is true in one of them, then it must be true in all of them. So maybe, it's not as fictional as we think.”

“When Don Quixote went out into the world, that world turned into a mystery before his eyes. That is the legacy of the first European novel to the entire subsequent history of the novel. The novel teaches us to comprehend the world as a question. There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude.”
