Quotes

Social Structure (The Great Ships)

“The ship is a closed system. Every person is a gear, and every gear must be polished by discipline.” (Chapter 1, p. 22)

Identity and Secrets

“Marcas knew that an identity was a fragile thing, built of paper trails and the silence of those who didn’t ask questions.” (Chapter 3, p. 67)

Critical Thinking

“Data doesn’t lie, but the people who aggregate it often do. You have to look at the raw feed if you want the truth.” (Chapter 12, p. 301)
