“Only a psychopath would ever think of doing these things, only a psychopath would dream of abusing other people in such a way, only a psychopath would treat people as less than human just for money. The shocking truth is, even though they now have most if not all of the money, they want still more, they want all of the money that you have left in your pockets, they want it all because they have no empathy with other people, with other creatures, they have no feeling for the world which they exploit, they have no love or sense of being or belonging for their souls are dead, dead to all things but greed and a desire to rule over others.”

“In response to be asked about Boris Johnson becoming UK Prime Minister...
"I'm delighted. As the UK continues to plunge ever faster into a future akin to a dystopian novel I'll never run out of material to write more books. Although now that reality is more bizarre than fiction maybe plot-lines will need to be more ambitious. Perhaps a book where Boris Johnson is really an accidental sentient snafu of Trump's scrotum lint. Kind of a sequel to the Bush-Blair story. I see musical rights being drawn up as we speak.”

“My dogs might believe, in their little doggy brains, that they wield the power in our relationship because I feed them, pet them, come when they bark, pick up their poop, buy them toys and care for them when they are sick. However, if they ever decided to act on their beliefs and try to exert power over me or my family, then their true place in the relationship would quickly become apparent. Likewise, we may feel confident that we are the master of our AI creations, only to be taken completely by surprise when we realise – too late – that we are no longer in control.”

“The gravity of our situation isn't lost on me, but I stall for a few more moments. No one will like what I have to say.
Our island is self-sufficient alright. Except for the threads of kelp we use to make súgán, rope that makes the trambles that we desperately need to catch fish. The long-stranded kelp comes from a dangerous, forbidden place below the island, a land belonging to no one that is situated between us and an enemy tribe, a tribe of fish people known as Iasc. As such, for lack of a better name, my people call the almost mythical area, as none of us has laid eyes on it, the Between.”

“Tara has not seen much in the way of technology, only from strangers passing through her village. People from the village are of the old ways, fearing technology because of the world's destructive history, but for Tara it was interesting and strange. She isn't afraid of strange things.”

“It's a peculiar feeling, the sensation of eyes watching you. Eyes can do so much from a distance; indeed, almost everything that hands can. They can caress, like the gentle fingertips of a lover. They can glide like warm water over the skin. They can also chill one's blood to ice or set it aflame. They can even dissolve skin and flesh with the savage destruction of viciously hurled acid.”

“Civilization on Earth planet was equated with selfishness and greed; those people who lived in a civilized state exploited those who did not. There were shortages of vital commodities on Earth planet, and the people in the civilized nations were able to monopolize those commodities by reason of their greater economic strength. This imbalance appeared to be at the root of the
disputes.”

“Rainbow Days by Stewart Stafford
They make us live in monochrome,
Autoerotic under a mirrored dome,
Regurgitating back this non-entity,
Inside I scream it's the death of me.
In between bouts of colon screening,
Rainbow days in a third eye's gleaming,
Silence a throbbing executioner's drum,
Brass muffling the demagogue's hum.
Shattered manacles I'm going to see,
As I'm leaving this world for infinity,
Christen horror hurricanes after me,
On submerged planet earth, Terra-Firma-On-Sea.

“A really fun thing to do at 3 a.m. is to google 'the future of sleep' for a glimpse into the dystopian future awaiting us. Sheer horror will keep you awake, but at least you'll be prepared for the revolution when we are all transformed into mindless cyborgs who never sleep.”

And it felt so raw, like the landscape of the North Country being pulled free from the receding ice. The frozen layers that protected her heart were melting away. The wild North was calling to her.”
