Status Updates From Cántico por Leibowitz

I actually started reading this on July 24 but anyways this is pre-reading for Krista’s book

Structural pattern of the book: Each part ends with death, but the focus isn't the individual - it's the cycle of civilization: Knowledge rises and falls, generations pass, nature endures.

Miller keeps asking the same question: Have we gained wisdom or merely recovered capability?

Key exchange on this page: Dom Paulo vs. Thon Taddeo may be the intellectual heart of the novel. The question isn't whether humanity can rediscover knowledge but whether our wisdom and governance can keep pace with our capability.

I will formulate it even stronger: Capability without governance can be mortal.

Przeczytałem pierwszą z trzech historii i jestem pod olbrzymim wrażeniem.
