“Several doors down from the café was the bookstore established by my subject Kate Belcalis. It was a narrow space, and tall; inside, ladders clung to the shelves. In the window, a neon sign glowed, showing two hands open like a book.” The Penumbraverse is realll 😭🫶

“I am greedy for change, and I bear it well; this is my temperament. Yet, in that moment, the loss felt unbearable. How could there be any history at all; how could humans, in any form, go on; without any birds in the sky?” 😭💗

“The boy was fascinated by the robot's plural awareness. The fact that Clovis was in many places at once seemed like a magic trick. In fact, it had not been uncommon among the Anth... but they had never managed the trick so gracefully.”

“Another espresso for the master mathematician! The portafilter clacked; the steam nozzle whooshed. Had the Anth, in all their art and craft, built anything better than the espresso machine? Possibly they had not.” I’m loving this world so much.

“I could not work this place out. I could not even form a theory. It was a mash-up, a pile-up, not so much anachronistic as everything all at once. Of course, the Anth had always lived like this. Encrypted phones alongside incense sticks, coruscating networks alongside printed books. Nothing was ever erased.
Even so: a castle?
I was all questions: when, and where, and why.” This is frickin fantastic!!
