John Brunner
“... maybe it's a sneaking feeling that people are wrong when they say human beings can't keep track of the world any more, we have to leave it up to the machines. I don't want to be hung out to dry on a dead branch of the evolutionary tree.”
John Brunner, The Shockwave Rider

Charles Lee Lesher
“The road ahead is long and there will be many setbacks. Success is not assured… but the price of failure has never been this high.”
Charles Lee Lesher, Shadow on the Moon
