The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard

Deeply enjoyable as a thesis on our fears of the future. What if it doesn't work out? What if our dreams fall apart? Who am I if not my successes? When I learned it was written by a professor who studied our relationship with time and memory, it all ...more

I'll admit it took me a little bit of time to get through Borne. It's not quite as cerebral as Vandermeer's other works, but it is richly concerned with its own external world, as always. A slight lull in the middle but a wonderful finale, and it rea ...more

Quotes by Timothy Hickson  (?)

“Doom awaits those that write vampire-romances with one-dimensional characters.”
Timothy Hickson, On Writing and Worldbuilding, Volume I

“You imagine every twitch of their pain as your own; you take it into yourself and incorporate it into your being, and it wrenches at every lever of feeling till you cry, and you want to cry. You want to feel the vicious pain because it is the only metric of empathy you can offer.”
Timothy Hickson, A Catalogue for the End of Humanity

“[Empires] fall for a host of reasons: economic downturn, infighting, engaging in a land war in Asia, or going against a Sicilian when death is on the line." p. 205, Part XVI How Empires Fall”
Timothy Hickson, On Writing and Worldbuilding, Volume I
