“Whodunnits are all about truth: nothing more, nothing less. In a world full of uncertainties, is it not inherently satisfying to come to the last page with every i dotted and every t crossed? The stories mimic our experience in the world. We are surrounded by tensions and ambiguities, which we spend half our life trying to resolve, and we’ll probably be on our own deathbed when we reach that moment when everything makes sense. Just about every whodunnit provides that pleasure.”
― Anthony Horowitz, Magpie Murders

“The Grid in fact began with the transportation of goods. It began with self-driving cars and then semitrailers, and soon it was running trains and airports and the cargo ships that carved across the immense oceans. Those in control loved the efficiencies, but in time, the Grid took over everything, and all the jobs that had once fallen to Humans were done now, much more economically, by this all-encompassing Grid. For some, this was a good thing. For many, it was accepted as a natural progression. But for a few, like Kate, this was a constraint, something from which to escape.”

“It really was nothing more than frequencies, sine waves across metal strings, and the slight kickback echoes in the acoustics of the room. Her circuits were taking it all in—the mathematics of it—but there was more. There was a beauty to it. It was… transcendent.”
