"What a jolt to find oneself a prisoner in this sinister sphere, reduced to a composite mechanism looking out on the land of the human, or one which we believe to be human by any definition of the word, and to be exiled from it." - Ligotti

I had to track that quote down in the book & get some context. He's talkin about when a human becomes objectified like a puppet. "To find oneself a prisoner in this sinister sphere" means to see oneself as a puppet "looking out on the land of the human."

Yeah, I would've added the other sentences before and after, explaining the context of it, but it'd exceed the word limit unfortunately.
