Quotes by Justin C. Key (?)

“You are, you fool. You are my Art. And your own Art. Just from being observed, you are the Art of the universe.”
― Justin C. Key, Out There Screaming

“Nature discovers man, man discovers machines, machines influence man, machines control nature, man tries to retake nature.” Dr. Soft’s grin had withered over the span of Dominik’s speech. “Simplistic. Accurate, in a way. There’s a lot missing there, though. Was it always AI versus humans when it came to medicine?”
― Justin C. Key, The Hospital at the End of the World
