"Abigail’s words—“None of it’s true”—replayed in her head. Tibet was skeptical, had started to question the very nature of truth. Was truth objective? To say there is no absolute truth is self-refuting. If it’s true that there is no absolute truth, that in itself is an absolutely true statement." May 05, 2026 04:10PM

"As chains and lashes faded as symbols of capital owners’ power, debt came to the fore, a contractual relationship that ordered new forms of dependence and new kinds of coercion. Fettering workers to their employers to extract their labor inexpensively and durably, the reconstruction of agricultural labor created a countryside filled with toilers working primarily to pay off their debts." 6 hours, 49 min ago

“What we need is not so much radical writers as we need radical readers!”

Damon Galgut

Damon Galgut

Samit Basu
“Most people believe that gods exist. Many do not; this does not trouble the gods, who know that if gods, in turn, were to not believe that people exist, people would actually cease to exist. Mortal belief does make gods stronger; it inflates their egos, which is always good for the metabolism.”
Samit Basu, The Unwaba Revelations

Ray Nayler
“The great and terrible thing about humankind is simply this: we will always do what we are capable of.”
Ray Nayler, The Mountain in the Sea

Kim Stanley Robinson
“I consider my novels, amongst many other things, to be my political activism. I’m interested in portraying futures where there are more cooperative, altruistic, post-capitalist systems that are working well.”
Kim Stanley Robinson
