About This Quote
The thrill of impending, weightless doom was likely the product of Clarke’s fondness for science fiction. He was not referring to the inevitable death that comes at the end of time, but rather something more like the thrilling possibility. The possibility that something terrible may happen, undermining one’s ability to stay safe. It is this idea that makes doom feel so exhilarating.
