Dan Simmons Quote
The first Dying Earth sold three billion copies, I said. Pilgrim’s Progress, she said. Mein Kampf. Once in a century. Maybe less. But it sold three billion … Look, said Tyrena. In twentieth-century Old Earth, a fast food chain took dead cow meat, fried it in grease, added carcinogens, wrapped it in petroleum-based foam, and sold nine hundred billion units. Human beings. Go figure.
