Orbital by Samantha Harvey
This is going to be an odd post, just a too-long passage from a book I’m reading: Orbital, by Samantha Harvey. But hey, it’s the holidays. Harvey describes Orbital as a “space pastoral.” It is set on the International Space Station, inhabited by six astronauts whose thoughts Harvey dips into from time to time, but mostly the book is reflections on earth and humanity from the collective perspective of orbit. There are so many beautiful passages worth sharing, but this one about politics seems particularly appropriate.
