About this deal

Selfish genius Percy Kelly thought hoarding, not selling, his art was the best way to win posthumous fame but he drove away two wives and died abandoned. Her refusal to believe in Ed is deep-rooted and frustrating but completely understandable given how useless and unhappy he was when the apocalypse rained down on them. But if we can ‘read’ South Asian roads as forms of governance and knowledge, we can challenge the region’s established geopolitical narratives, and the idea of a never-ending future. Of course, humans are humans, and being forced to do anything seems to be agains their grain, even if it's for their survival. One of the classics of the genre, in which a student, Ish, emerges from a period of isolation and illness—he was bitten by a diseased rattlesnake—and steps back into the world to find almost no one left alive in it.

But then, I suppose that's part of the point—aren't the point of encyclopedias to record everything, making no distinctions between the mundane and the magnificent? We are bombarded by doomsday headlines that tell us the soil won't be able to support crops, fish will vanish from our oceans, that we should reconsider having children.

One of them glances at the map he makes as an alibi and is like yeah this enormous amount of stuff you know that a historian dedicating their life to studying this year or whatever in time would struggle to grasp the big picture of fitted onto this one map I barely paid any attention too. At this point, Matheson’s pandemic/vampire/zombie novel is more famous for being source material than for being actual material, probably because it is overflowing with ideas.Rewriting history was never on Nate’s to-do list, but seeing as he’s the only viable candidate, he’ll give it his best shot or die trying. Manchester millionaires aiming for a worldwide cotton monopoly turned Thirlmere into an ugly reservoir to feed their factories - and started the worldwide environmental protest movement.
