We sat on the bench in the middle of the capsule and watched our city expand beneath us, and felt like God. We had never seen anything so beautiful, and could not conceive of more magic in the world.

The writing is superb, both serious and funny at the same time. It's hard to say this because of the nature of the character, but I ...
