welfare economics modern
Modern economics and the welfare state borrowed heavily on the future.
voice forever literature
Science is like literature, a continuing dialog among diverse and conflicting voices, no one ever wholly right or wholly wrong, but a steady conversation forever provisional and personal and living.
contraceptives ugliness
Ugliness is nature's contraceptive.
moving mean space
Once you've grown up in space, moving on means moving out, not going back to Earth. Nobody wants to be a groundpounder.
shining
To shine is better than to reflect.
moving wind sea

If you like intriguing ideas delivered in an exciting plot, this is your meat.

The iron fist of the real, inside the velvet glove of airy mathematics.
self people identity
People fear their hidden selves, afraid that they will burst out.
loss information structure
Disintegration of structure equals information loss.
