Review: To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers
As the Secretary General of the United Nations, an organisation of one hundred and forty seven member states who represent almost all of the human inhabitants of the planet Earth, I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet. We step out of our solar system into the universe seeking only peace and friendship – to teach, if we are called upon; to be taught, if we are fortunate. We know full well that our planet and all its inhabitants are but a small part of this immense universe that surrounds us, and it is with humility and hope that we take this step.
Former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, 1977, as recorded on the Voyager Golden Record, Epigraph of To Be Taught If Fortunate by Becky Chambers
