“No comets crashing, nothing you could really call a nuclear war. Just everything else, tangled in the changing climate: droughts, water shortages, crop failures, honeybees gone like they almost were now, collapse of other keystone species, every last alpha predator gone, antibiotics doing even less than they already did, diseases that were never quite the one big pandemic but big enough to be historic events in themselves. And all of it around people: how people were, how many of them there were, how they’d changed things just by being there.”
― William Gibson, The Peripheral

“And then the Internet happened: and the panopticon society, cameras everywhere and augmented-reality tools gobbling up your peripheral vision and greedily indexing your every spoken word on duty.”

― Walter M. Miller Jr., A Canticle for Leibowitz

“You got now and you got the second your lights go out. Meantime is the only time there is. All that matters is what we do during it.”
― James S.A. Corey, Leviathan Falls
