Nope, can’t do it. I’m quitting this one in an effort to protect my mental health. Too heavy for me right now. I’m out.

Holy shit, we’re doomed. Where’s the upside; it’s all down, down,down. I’ve stopped reading this book before bed, as I wasn’t able to sleep. Afternoon reading only. Why do I do this to myself?

I’m waiting for the upside, but I generally think that the only up is like when a rollercoaster makes it’s climb to the peak of the structure, it’s all down from here baby.

Good grief, not the best book to read when trying to fall asleep. Yikes! But I am impressed with Mr. Homer-Dixon, so there you go.
