Lauren BeukesExplosions and fighting robots and shit. What’s that got to do with the heart?
About This Quote
The heart is the most important organ in the body, but not one of them actually talks about it or how they work. This quote is very smart because it shows that the heart is something that hasn’t been talked about before. It talks about all of the different ways that people think about the heart. "Explosions" are how things are broken down into tiny pieces that are then added to other little pieces, so they can be put back together again.
"Fighting robots" are made with metal and plastic, which are things made out of stuff like steel and plastic. And "shit" is just an ugly word for icky stuff.
