Ian McEwan
“Factory settings—a contemporary synonym for fate.”
Ian McEwan, Machines Like Me

Ian McEwan
“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

Ian McEwan
“Have you any idea what it takes to catch a ball, or raise a cup to your lips, or make immediate sense of a word, a phrase or an ambiguous sentence? We didn't, not at first. Solving maths problems is the tiniest fraction of what human intelligence does. We learned from a new angle just how wondrous a thing the brain is. A one-litre, liquid-cooled, three-dimensional computer. Unbelievable processing power, unbelievably compressed, unbelievable energy efficiency, no overheating. The whole thing running on twenty-five watts -- one dim light bulb.”
Ian McEwan, Machines like Me

Marshall Thornton
“Life is a shit sandwich. Two pieces of shit, but between them the most amazing filling, delicious, a taste so wonderful it electrifies your entire body and barely seems real. A filling that inspires us to keep chewing through the worst, hoping to get to that amazing center again. Yes, some of us get a lot more yummy goodness than others, but none of us forgets the deliciousness long enough to stop trying to chomp through the shit.”
Marshall Thornton, Fade Out

Marshall Thornton
“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.”
Marshall Thornton, Fade Out
