“ Have you ever played Maximum Happy Imagination?Sounds like a Japanese game show.Kat straightens her shoulders. Okay, we're going to play. To start, imagine the future. The good future. No nuclear bombs. Pretend you're a science fiction writer.Okay: World government... no cancer... hover-boards.Go further. What's the good future after that?Spaceships. Party on Mars.Further.Star Trek. Transporters. You can go anywhere.Further.I pause a moment, then realize: I can't.Kat shakes her head. It's really hard. And that's, what, a thousand years? What comes after that? What could possibly come after that? Imagination runs out. But it makes sense, right? We probably just imagine things based on what we already know, and we run out of analogies in the thirty-first century. ”

After that, the book will fade, the way all books fade in your mind. But I hope you will remember this:A man walking fast down a dark lonely street. Quick steps and hard breathing, all wonder and need. A bell above a door and the tinkle it makes. A clerk and a ladder and warm golden light, and then: the right book exactly, at exactly the right time.
