“ People make events into stories. Stories give events meaning. ”
But the ground shakes, as if something's trying to push up from below, and I think of other people's mothers shaking out their duvets or even God shaking out the fabric of space-time.
~ Scarlett Thomas
But I quite like the way you can talk about science without necessarily using mathematics, but using metaphors instead.
Real life is physical. Give me books instead. Give me the invisibility of the contents of books, the thoughts, the ideas, the images. Let me become part of a book. . . . an intertextual being: a book cyborg, or, considering that books aren't cybernetic, perhaps a bibliorg.
I think about stories and their logic and wonder if there can be any such thing as simply there is a book.
