"Once the future was a continuation of the present, and all changes were looking somewhere on the horizon. Now the future is part of the present. You think they're prepared for that? They don't want to know anything. They just devour".

Quote from p205 of 2014 edition of Hard to be a God by the Strugatsky Brothers (1964).
A telling paragraph from "Hard to be a God" by the #Strugatsky #Brothers (1964) translated from the Russian by #Olena #Bormashenko (2014).

Years ago I read The Doomed City by Arkady and Boris #Strugatsky and was deeply intrigued so I started a log to read more of their translated #books.
Last night, I learned that on Nook there are 10 more titles available! 🤯 I thought I was tapped out…

Finished this today. Soviet era sci-fi. It’s really trippy, most of the time I had no idea what was going on or what the protagonist/narrator was talking about. They drink a lot most people are shit. You probably can tell it was great!

Quote from Hard to be a God by the Strugatsky brothers: "No country can develop without science — it will be destroyed by its neighbours. Without arts and general culture, the country loses its capacity for self-criticism, begins to encourage faulty tendencies, starts to constantly spawn hypocrites and scum, develops consumerism and conceit in its citizens, and eventually again becomes a victim of its more sensible neighbours. Persecute bookworms all you like, prohibit science, and destroy art, but sooner or later you'll be forced to think better of it, and with much gnashing of teeth open the way for everything that is so hated by the power-hungry dullards and blockheads."
I'm reading **Hard to Be a God** (1964) by Arkady & Boris Strugatsky.
For *some* reason the passage I just read jumped out at me...
