The consistently remarkable "The Big Picture" photo site at boston.com has a series of pictures of the drought and fires in Texas.
We must make the invisible visible. We must make the vastness perceptible. We must make the alien familiar. We must make implausible truths obvious. We have no other choice.
The only thing we can be sure of about the future is that it will be absolutely fantastic. So if what I say now seems to you to be very reasonable, then I have failed completely. Only if what I tell you appears absolutely unbelievable, have we any chance of visualizing the future as it really will happen.- Arthur C. Clarke (h/t Brin)
