Last night, I finally finished reading N. Frank Daniel's Futureproof. Now, this books is a real page turner and I should have been done with it in about two, three days maximum. As to why it took me so long to finish is beyond me. But I am done and I can honestly say, like the junkies from the book, that I am hooked! I cannot wait to get my fix of Gravity Eats the Dawn!
Like with every book I have fully read, I highlight one and only one section that I feel completely encompasses the tone of the entire book. This is done as I read the book and not at the end when I have finished. This really helps to give, at least to me, the validity and purity of a well-written book. So far, and I truly do not want to jinx it, I feel that I have chosen the right passages for each of the books that I have read. So enough blah-blahing and here is Futureproof in its raw form...
we are a blip, a mass of energy dissipated in a matter of moments, a flash in the pan, a twinkle of the eye, a prehistory lost in the passing of millennia, the minutiae of nothingness, a blink, an afterthought, a shallow stream evaporated in the first light of day. we are the misunderstood. we are the unclassified the oversimplified the target market the failing demographic. we are all already dead, the untalented, the ugly, the wasted, the underused, making way for the new. we are the bleeding. we are the profusely complaining, the overfed. we are the holes. the empty. the vacant. carved out and hollow. blankly starring. echoes. not ourselves. not anyone.
