Inferno

Eén raad: verspil tijd noch geld aan deze rotzooi. Sla zelfs dit stuk over, meer dan “dat zijn een paar uur die ik ook nooit meer terugkrijg” zou ik er eigenlijk niet over moeten zeggen.

Zoals Stephen Colbert onlangs zei: “I love your books. I love the rage they fill me with.” Een paar voorbeelden! Een bijzonder intelligent mens bekijkt een video waar het over Malthus gaat:

Knowlton paused the video. The mathematics of Malthus? A quick Internet search led him to information about a prominent nineteenth-century English mathematician and demographist named Thomas Robert Malthus, who had famously predicted an eventual global collapse due to overpopulation.

You don't say

(dringend!)

Langdon returned his focus to the iPhone, and within seconds was able to pull up a link to a digital offering of The Divine Comedy— freely accessible because it was in the public domain. When the page opened precisely to Canto 25, he had to admit he was impressed with the technology. I've got to stop being such a snob about leather-bound books, he reminded himself. E-books do have their moments.

Uuuurgh

The poem was disturbing and macabre, and hard to decipher. Use of the words doge and lagoon confirmed for Langdon beyond any doubt that the poem was indeed referencing Venice—a unique Italian water-world city made up of hundreds of interconnected lagoons and ruled for centuries by a Venetian head of state known as a doge.

Nooo, really?
