'The Centre for National Resilience was an uncanny place. Rows of beige-grey dongas with small shared verandahs faced each other, a concrete strip and a bit of gravel between them. The rows were separated into sections, and the sections were separated by chainlink fencing, numbered and lettered with laminated signs. We were placed in H block. You have to laugh.' (Introduction)

A thing of wonders. Minds turned to the deepest of time, the origins of our universe, and perhaps to that moment before the sudden creation of an infinity of something from an endless expanse of nothing. Or was that big bang the final decaying and thus creating moment of a previous infinity of something? Our minds can tiptoe around these ideas, but never quite land in a recognisable space between them. But maybe that is their beauty, the tantalising possibility of utter unknowability.'
