Wisdom in Space<p>There are two ultimate fears, the annihilation of solitude and the annihilation of the crowd. We lose our identities if we are alone with no one to reflect us back on ourselves... or we lose our identities if we are in a mass of others; anonymous, corporate, overwhelmed by the babble.<br> -- Ian McDonald</p><p>⬆ <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wisdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wisdom</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Quotes</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IanMcDonald" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IanMcDonald</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Crowds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Crowds</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Solitude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solitude</span></a></p><p>⬇ <a href="https://c.im/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Panorama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Panorama</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GoblinValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoblinValley</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Utah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Utah</span></a></p>

Cory Doctorow<p>V. Hopeland by <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/IanMcDonald" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IanMcDonald</span></a></p><p>Seriously what the *fuck* is this amazing, uncategorizable, unsummarizable, weird, sprawling, hairball of a novel? How the *hell* do you research – much less *write* – a novel this ambitious and wide-ranging? Why did I find myself weeping uncontrollably on a train yesterday as I finished it, literally squeezing my chest over my heart as it broke and sang at the same moment? The stars of *Hopeland* are members of two ancient, secret societies. </p><p>13/</p>
