Philip K. Dick
“When he landed the police department hovercar on the roof of the Rosen Association Building in Seattle, he found a young woman waiting for him. Black-haired and slender, wearing the new huge dust-filtering glasses, she approached his car, her hands deep in the pockets of her brightly striped long coat.”
Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Fredric Jameson

Therefore, one of the great… [Cough in the audience] laments of the Frankfurt School — as the postwar went on into the 1960s, and so forth — is that this society of late capitalism is removing all the possible spaces from which any negation of it could be achieved.”
Fredric Jameson, Mimesis, Expression, Construction: Fredric Jameson's Seminar on Aesthetic Theory

Raymond Chandler
“If being in revolt against a corrupt society constitutes being immature, then Philip Marlowe is extremely immature” (Chandler, 1951).”
Raymond Chandler, The Annotated Big Sleep

Fredric Jameson

Fredric Jameson, Mimesis, Expression, Construction: Fredric Jameson's Seminar on Aesthetic Theory

Dino Buzzati
“The visual manifestation of the utterances is such that the thoughts—not the words, because there are no words—the thoughts appear as crystalline blocks in the darkness.”
Dino Buzzati, The Singularity
