"The Librarian draws on my childhood memories of libraries before the internet age, when books felt precious and full of possibility. I loved borrowing them and climbing into my grandparents’ cherry tree to read, dream and imagine the future. Back then, I used to wonder whether one day we might be able to read with our minds. With the arrival of technologies like Audible, that thought feels closer than ever. These works hold together those two worlds: the tenderness of early reading memories and the strange nearness of futures once only imagined." Cristina Schek
