as seen here in katherines and paper towns, you are very opinionated on subdivisions. what are your feelings about them and why?
I really hated subdivisions as a teenager because to me they represented sameness and the bloated, intellectually disengaged, wretchedly average 21st century America.
I felt like all these identical houses were architectural crimes committed against the land, and like we would pay for our crimes with these stretched out, sprawling cities that human beings of the future would see as proof of the insanity that accompanied our national prosperity.
Now I live in that very suburbia. So….yeah.

I’ve always assumed that history is fully as speculative a discipline as writing science fiction. Our narrative of history changes as we go along, and hundred years from now, the deep past—assuming that technology continues to emerge at the same rate—the deep human past that those people will be able to see will be quite unrecognizable to us.

A mathematics course is much more than a thrice-weekly regurgitation of algorithmic tools. It is a distilled presentation of centuries of concentrated effort by fellow humans, men and women motivated both by real-world problems and a sense of beauty and consistency
