Book cover for The Nimrod Flipout
This is a story about people who once lived on the moon. Nowadays, there’s no one up there, but up until just a few years ago, the place was mobbed.

This is how all good stories should start.

David Graeber
“Most people today also believe they live in free societies (indeed, they often insist that, politically at least, this is what is most important about their societies), but the freedoms which form the moral basis of a nation like the United States are, largely, formal freedoms.

American citizens have the right to travel wherever they like - provided, of course, they have the money for transport and accommodation. They are free from ever having to obey the arbitrary orders of superiors - unless, of course, they have to get a job. In this sense, it is almost possible to say the Wendat had play chiefs and real freedoms, while most of today have to make do with real chiefs and play freedoms. Or to put the matter more technically: what the Hadza, Wendat or 'egalitarian' people such as the Nuer seem to have been concerned with were not so much formal as substantive ones. They were less interested in the right to travel than in the possibility of actually doing so (hence, the matter was typically framed as an obligation to provide hospitality to strangers). Mutual aid - what contemporary European observers often referred to as 'communism' - was seen as the necessary condition for individual autonomy.”
David Graeber, The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity

Erling Kagge
“Vähehaaval sain aru, et maailm ei ole niisugune, nagu see paistab, vaid selline, nagu sina oled.”
Erling Kagge, Å gå. Ett skritt av gangen

John Green
“We cannot do the hard work of imagining a better world into existence unless we reckon honestly with what governments and corporations want us to believe, and why they want us to believe it.”
John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet

Robert Macfarlane
“Time slows, swirls, repeats. Each step is hard going, the heavy pack peeling me back off the slope or jamming me into it. Spindrift hisses into my face, frets my cheeks. I murmur a mantra to myself: Take the time that needs to be taken, take the time that needs to be taken.”
Robert Macfarlane, Underland: A Deep Time Journey

M.J. Eberhart
“I’ve always heard that it’s better to give than to receive, but someone has to receive, and I’ve learned to do it.”
M.J. Eberhart, Ten Million Steps: Nimblewill Nomad's Epic 10-Month Trek from the Florida Keys to Québec
