I was reading Robin Sloan’s new book Moonbound and came across this text which speaks to writing ourselves a better future. 

Durga laughed. “What I mean is—we have minds! We dream, and we plan, and then we take action. For that reason, our present is a function of the future we imagine. It is forged in response to vision. If we lack vision—well, then the ghosts will play, and that is our own fault.”

Self fulfilling text that generates a better future
