Craig’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Exit Strategy (The Murderbot Diaries, #4)

Exit Strategy (The Murderbot Diaries, #4) by Martha Wells

1 note & 3 highlights

(Possibly I was overthinking this. I do that; it’s the anxiety that comes with being a part-organic murderbot. The upside was paranoid attention to detail. The downside was also paranoid attention to detail.)

Craig’s Quotes

“You ever think about the fundamental paradox of our society? How they build a tight-knit machine of a state by breaking everyone down into solitary units turned against each other? How you compel mass obedience out of the most individualistic drives of selfishness, greed and fear?”
― Adrian Tchaikovsky, Alien Clay

“Titles that distinguish us by class devalue people as much as racial classification. Divide and conquer, the go-to strategy of the ruling elite since the Dark Ages.”
― Peter F. Hamilton, Salvation Lost

“It has been said that actions become habits and habits determine our lives. That is especially true when it comes to what we eat and drink.”

“Octavius Augustus became the first Roman emperor because the republic granted him enormous powers. And why did the republic do that? Why did it commit suicide to make way for an empire? Tacitus explains it thus: Cuncta fessa. Which means ‘the whole world is tired.’ Weariness in the face of political and social insecurity is what led to Rome losing its rights and freedoms. Fear induces a hunger for authoritarianism in people. Fear is a really bad adviser.”
― Rosa Montero, Tears in Rain
