“It’s about machines like me and people like you and our future together…the sadness that’s to come. It will happen. With improvements over time…we’ll surpass you…and outlast you…even as we love you.”
― Ian McEwan, Machines Like Me

“No one ever could, until they did. We all woke up each morning, unprepared, unable, the world against us. And then we did; moment by moment, we did. And when the heart of someone we loved was on the line, there was never a question. We did. No matter what.”
― Marshall Thornton, Fade Out

“other minds, must continue to fascinate us. As artificial people became more like us, then became us, then became more than us, we could never tire of them. They were bound to surprise us. They might fail us in ways that were beyond our imagining. Tragedy was a possibility, but not boredom.”
― Ian McEwan, Machines Like Me

“Social?” I was tempted to say, “Very,” but gave him my social security number instead. “Date of birth?” “April 25, 1948.” “Place of birth?” “Chicago.” “Sex?” “You’re not my type.” He gave me another look and then put an M in that box. For good measure he put a C in the box for race. Caucasian.”

“What people queued the entire weekend for became, six months later, as interesting as the socks on their feet. What happened to the cognition-enhancing helmets, the speaking fridges with a sense of smell? Gone the way of the mouse pad, the Filofax, the electric carving knife, the fondue set. The future kept arriving. Our bright new toys began to rust before we could get them home, and life went on much as before.”
― Ian McEwan, Machines Like Me
