2 Prologue: Prophesies
Оглавление“[Computers] will not just be doing arithmetic very quickly or composing piano music but also driving cars, writing books, making ethical decisions, appreciating fancy paintings, making witty observations at cocktail parties… maybe we’ll merge with them to become super-intelligent cyborgs.”
–Lev Grossman, “2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal,” Time magazine, February 2011
“Standing here, I almost see
The girl I was, the crone I’ll be,
The Blessing of age, passing of time
Teaching us all, profane and sublime,
We will never relent, we will never rely
Thus we will live.
And thus we will die…”
–Song of the Original Resistance, circa 2030, author unknown
“The outsider inside will end the beginning.”
–Prophecy from Heaven, 2063
