THE GOOD ILLNESS (El buen mal)
Det bekymret meg ikke før symptomene ble verre. Legene sa det ikke var noen kur, og at jeg ville være syk resten av livet. Jeg skulle ønske de hadde rett.
I didn’t worry about it, until the symptoms got worse. The doctors said there was no cure, that I’d be sick for the rest of my life. I wish they had been right.

THE RACE
Menneskeheten er dømt til å vokse, aldri fornøyd, og akselererer mot en endelig, sakte verden. Hva om den hodestups sprinten ikke var et resultat av vår egen frie vilje, men heller av mekanismene som styrer universet? [Merk: 3D]
Condemned to grow, never satisfied, humanity accelerates toward a finite, slow world. What if that headlong rush was not the result of our own free will, but instead the result of mechanisms that govern the universe? [Note: 3D]

BEAR (Bär)
