"The Johnson Family was a turn-of-the-century expression to designate good bums and thieves. It was elaborated into a code of conduct. A Johnson honours his obligations. His word is good and he is a good man to do business with. A Johnson minds his own business. He is not a snoopy, self-righteous, trouble-making person. A Johnson will give help when help is needed. He will not stand by while someone is drowning or trapped under a burning car.

(Epigraph to The Place of Dead Roads by William S Burroughs)

The only thing that could unite the planet is a united space programme... The earth becomes a space station and war is simply out, irrelevant, flatly insane in a context of research centres, spaceports and the exhilaration of working with people you like and respect towards an agreed-upon objective, an objective from which all workers will gain. Happiness is a by-product of function. The planetary space station will give all participants an opportunity to function."
