“Imagine the first discovery that one of these epidemics was man-made—the panic, the violence that would ensue. That’s where the end would come. A typhoon kills a few hundred people, does a few billion in damage, and what do we do?” Erskine interlocked his fingers. “We come together. We put the pieces back. But a terrorist’s bomb.” He frowned. “A terrorist’s bomb does the same damage, and it throws the world into turmoil.” He spread his hands apart like an explosion going off. “When there’s only God to blame, we forgive him. When it’s our fellow man, we must destroy him.” PeopleMenWorldFirstsDoeMadeEndsHandsTogetherPiecesImagineViolenceHundredDiscoveryFellowsBlameForgivingFingersSpreadBillionsTerroristDamageBombsPanicFellow ManExplosionsTurmoilEpidemicsTyphoons Author:Hugh Howey
“Reality is not digital, an on-off state, but analog. Something gradual. In other words, reality is a quality that things possess in the same way that they possess, say, weight.

“As Jeremy Bentham had asked about animals well over two hundred years ago, the question was not whether they could reason or talk, but could they suffer? And yet, somehow, it seemed to take more imagination for humans to identify with animal suffering than it did to conceive of space flight or cloning or nuclear fusion. Yes, she was a fanatic in the eyes of most of the country. . .Mostly, however, she just lacked patience for people who wouldn't accept her belief that humans inflicted needless agony on the animals around them, and they did so in numbers that were absolutely staggering.” PeopleYearsHumansWellsTwoCountryReasonEyeSufferingBeliefImaginationSpaceAnimalNumbersAcceptingHundredYears AgoNuclearFlightAgonyFanaticsFusionStaggeringCloningSpace FlightAnimal SufferingNuclear Fusion Author:Chris Bohjalian
