Although the "City of Rules" sounds like a grim dystopia, it is anything but. In the City of Rules, everything is mixed up. Everyone lives in large fruit houses and travels around on the BabyTro: trains made of gigantic babies. All the citizens are hybrids, too. Bredward is a Butterpanda, a tiny Panda with rainbow butterfly wings. Bredward's best friend Flenry is a deer with eagle wings: a Deergle. Their pronouns -- like all the other creatures in the City of Rules -- is "xe." Rule Number 98 states that "all gendered pronouns are prohibited." All the creatures in the City of Rules follow all 888 rules all the time. This is about to change. On the morning our story begins, Bredward breaks one single rule. But once you start Rulebreaking, it will prove very difficult to stop.

The Machine Stops, E.M Forster
https://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~koehl/Teaching/ECS188/PDF_files/Machine_stops.pdf
Yet the attempt to “defeat the sun” aroused the last common interest that our race experienced about the heavenly bodies, or indeed about anything. It was the last time that men were compacted by thinking of a power outside the world. The sun had conquered, yet it was the end of his spiritual dominion. Dawn, midday, twilight, the zodiacal path, touched neither men’s lives not their hearts, and science retreated into the ground, to concentrate herself upon problems that she was certain of solving

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Research indicates that the patch is rapidly accumulating. The patch is believed to have increased "10-fold each decade" since 1945. Estimated to be double the size of Texas, the area contains more than 3 million short tons (2.7 million metric tons) of plastic. The gyre contains approximately six pounds of plastic for every pound of plankton. A similar patch of floating plastic debris is found in the Atlantic Ocean, called the North Atlantic garbage patch.This growing patch contributes to other environmental damage to marine ecosystems and species.

Settlers, by J.F Sakai
readsettlers.org
The key to understanding Amerika is to see that it was a chain of European settler colonies that expanded into a settler empire. To go back and understand the lives and consciousness of the early English settlers is to see the embryo of today's Amerikan Empire. This is the larger picture that allows us to finally relate the class conflicts of settler Euro-Amerikans to the world struggle.

Island, by Aldous Huxley

"Its presence was his absence. William Asquith Farnaby—ultimately and essentially there was no such person. Ultimately and essentially there was only a luminous bliss, only a knowledgeless understanding, only union with unity in a limitless, undifferenti-ated awareness. This, self-evidently, was the mind's natural state."

The Garden of Forking Path,
Juan Luis Borges, 1941
http://mycours.es/gamedesign2012/files/2012/08/The-Garden-of-Forking-Paths-Jorge-Luis-Borges-1941.pdf
The Garden of Forking Paths is a picture, incomplete yet not false, of the universe such as Ts'ui Pen conceived it to be. Differing from Newton and Schopenhauer, your ancestor did not think of time as absolute and uniform. He believed in an infinite series of times, in a dizzily growing, ever spreading network of diverging, converging and parallel times. This web of time - the strands of which approach one another, bifurcate, intersect or ignore each other through the centuries - embraces every possibility. We do not exist in most of them. In some you exist and not I, while in others I do, and you do not, and in yet others both of us exist. In this one, in which chance has favored me, you have come to my gate. In another, you, crossing the garden, have found me dead. In yet another, I say these very same words, but am an error, a phantom."
