Ian McEwan
“Europe was not simply a union that chiefly benefited large corporations. The history of the continental member states was vastly different from our own. They had suffered violent revolutions, invasions, occupations and dictatorships. They were therefore only too willing to submerge their identities in a common cause directed from Brussels. We, on the other hand, had lived unconquered for nearly a thousand years. Soon, we would live freely again.”
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

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

Ian McEwan
“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

Ian McEwan
“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
