“Be a scribe! Your body will be sleek, your hand will be soft... You are one who sits grandly in your house; your servants answer speedily; beer is poured copiously; all who see you rejoice in good cheer. Happy is the heart of him who writes; he is young each day.”
Ptahotep, 2500 B.C.

"Sage writes muscular, engaging prose that is always insightful and with an eye to where we're at and where we might be heading."
S. Roy (on The Ballad of Persephone Cruise-Missile), eEvolution Review
"I found myself delighted more and more with Sage's story as its hero jazzes with evolutionary biology, Vermeer's chiaroscuro, the cantankerousness of the Dutch, and the essence of Zebraness. The writing is swift, dramatic and skilled, and always packs much into little."
