“Homesickness begins to creep in. Loneliness. I showed them a picture of my girlfriend and they love her hair. It’s long and blond and she has it pulled back into a ponytail. One of them asks why I came all alone, across space, to this distant place. What have I done, I wonder.”

One of the chief virtues of the book is that it’s nearly the only remaining form of media that isn’t constantly being interrupted by ads. Between the covers is the last place on earth where no one is trying to sell you shit, a place where you can still be a human being rather than a mark.
