"“[...] designers, who are almost never in charge of the systems’ system, lose their imagined raison d’etre: their prefigurative know-how dissolves into the execution of someone or something else’s high level prefiguration: a manager, an engineer, an algorithm.”" Jan 13, 2025 08:27AM

Italo Calvino
“So you begin to wonder if Leonia's true passion is really, as they say, the enjoyment of new and different things, and not, instead, the joy of expelling, discarding, cleansing itself of a recurrent impurity. ”
Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

“I thought about the way my mind wanders, how I drift through days losing hours, forgetting to remain in my body. How they call me absentminded, forgetful. The way I am mercury spilling over surfaces—solid and liquid, here and not.”
Bassey Ikpi, I'm Telling the Truth, but I'm Lying: Essays – An Instant NYT Bestselling Memoir on Living with Anxiety

Genzaburo Yoshino
“You take many things from the world, but I wonder what you will give back in return?”
Genzaburo Yoshino, How Do You Live?

Ken Liu
“But the real attraction of such technology has never been about capturing reality. Photography, videography, holography... the progression of such “reality-capturing” technology has been a proliferation of ways to lie about reality, to shape and distort it, to manipulate and fantasize. People shape and stage the experiences of their lives for the camera, go on vacations with one eye glued to the video camera. The desire to freeze reality is about avoiding reality.”
Ken Liu, The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories

Miriam Toews
“It was the first time that we had sort of articulated our major problem. She wanted to die and I wanted her to live and we were enemies who loved each other.”
Miriam Toews, All My Puny Sorrows
