- Quotes:
"Another age must be the judge." - Charles Babbage, 1837
"We never imagined that artificial intelligence would be like this. We also seldom imagined (in spite of ample evidence) that emergent technologies would leave legislation in the dust, yet they do. In a world characterized by technologically driven change, we necessarily legislate after the fact, perpetually scrambling to catch up, while the core architectures of the future, increasingly, are erected by entities like Google." - William Gibson, 2010 - Books:
Being and Time, Fahrenheit 451, The Giver, Society of Mind, The Emotion Machine, The Critique of Pure Reason
