“Human beings did not invent stories. We arrived inside of them. We are told by geological stories with scales too large for us to even grasp. We are infected with fungal stories. Civilization itself may be a non-human narrative, authored by fermentation yeasts using humans as its characters. Let us write stories that seek to be as textured, complicated, and diverse as an old-growth forest. As feral and involuted as a spoonful of dirt holding one billion bacteria, up to ten miles of mycelial fungi, and thousands of protozoa.”-
