Pre-Post-Hubris


I just realized that the two main books I'm reading right now with considerable pleasure -- The Cleft (Doris Lessing's second-last, and her last speculative fiction novel) and The World Without Us by Alan Weisman, are about the very beginning and very end of human civilization. I guess it's always been all that inbetween stuff that gets on my nerves.
