Grimes mentioned Novacene by James Lovelock 1 times

[What's the meaning of life, C?] Have you, did you read "Novacene" yet, by James Lovelock? I haven't even finished this, so I'm a huge fraud yet again, but really early in the book, he says this amazing thing. I feel like everyone's so sad and cynical. [...] I just keep hearing people being like, "Fuck, what if we're alone? Oh no, ah!" And I'm like, "Okay, but like, wait, what if this is the beginning?" In "Novacene," he says, I'm, this is not gonna be a correct, 'cause I can't like memorize quotes, but he says says something like, what if our consciousness, right now, is the universe waking up. What if instead of discovering the universe, this is the universe. This is the evolution of the literal universe herself. We are not separate from the universe. This is the universe waking up. This is the universe seeing herself for the first time.
