“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Earth: Hyperobjects Update

So, here I am, at the citation fixing stage of Hyperobjects. Why not? My Prius is being serviced (90 000 miles, the big one, bit of sticker shock there!). So I'm sitting in the Toyota dealership.

And it occurs to me that this is exactly where I started writing the book, in August. How strange.

Fixing citations is like gardening. You are relating to the basic earth of your project. It's very different from writing, which is more like flying. For me it's best to segment the tasks so they don't overlap at all.
