"Early impressions
- the shootout at the start has huge Heat vibes
- this one reads more similar to a Ballard novel (which confusing I read before I even touched the early Bosch stuff)" — Jun 07, 2026 12:52PM

“Humanity is the only species that actively debates whether or not it should maintain the environmental conditions necessary for its own continued existence. Other species do not struggle with this sort of thing.”

“Thank you is a phrase that is fundamental to life, starting with family life. Together with please and sorry, it’s a key that opens the way to a well-lived life, to a life of peace.”

“Birdwatching, at first glance, seems like a pursuit designed specifically for people who find stamp collecting too stimulating. But oh, how wrong they would be. Behind the courteous nods, the gentle lift of binoculars and the soft pitter-patter of birder footsteps on dew-dappled gum leaves lies a world of unexpected drama – a scandalous underbelly of rivalry, controversy and intrigue. Indeed, what appears to be a peaceful communion with nature masks a tempest of Shakespearean passion.”

“the era of artificial intelligence, we cannot forget that poetry and love are indispensable in order to save humanity. They are like childhood, the salt of the earth: that if it loses its flavor—as a French writer warned—the world will be nothing but putrefaction and canker. When the individuality of the heart is not appreciated, we lose the answers that intelligence alone cannot give, we lose the encounter with others, and we lose history and our histories, because the real personal adventure is that which is accomplished from the heart. At the end of life, all that matters will be this. —”
