Thanks for looking, Piers; it’s a Celtic landscape, perhaps.
The Fintan O'Toole talk was entertaining as well as enlightening. I’ve bought
Heroic Failure, on my Kobo e-reader, and it seems to be quite wide-ranging in
its analysis of where we find ourselves – careering as you say toward oblivion.
And thank you for using “careering”; I see “careening” rather too often,
ignoring its nautical meaning.
