Notes
1 My favourite chapter was Chapter 8 – Ships of the Soul
2 A 98-gun second-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy which served during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and was arguably instrumental in turning the tides at the Battle of Trafalgar
3 The term ‘civicide’ refers to a self-induced collapse (i.e. suicide) of human civilization
4 From Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Carroll Citation1865), this phrase has entered the popular lexicon and alludes to realms of untold imagination. Hancock’s personal journey felt very evocative of this
5 A phrase uttered by an astronaut in 2001: A Space Odyssey (Clarke Citation1968), and often associated with film adaptations. The book is themed around the perils of technology and provides a panoramic overview of human progress. Transports of Delight centers on these themes
6 Derived from a key scene in the 1999 film The Matrix (Wachowski and Wachowski Citation1997), choosing between two differently coloured pills is a now a popular metaphor that reflects the choice between confronting difficult and harsh truths (red pill) or remaining blissfully ignorant (blue pill). I think the link with Transports of Delight speaks for itself
