Robert A. Heinlein
“There’s a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will.” Free will and predestination in one sentence and both true.”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Door into Summer

Robert A. Heinlein
“That was smart, that was engineering: never reinvent something that you can buy down the street.”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Door into Summer

Sherry Turkle
“Sociable robotics exploits the idea of a robotic body to move people to relate to machines as subjects, as creatures in pain rather than broken objects. That even the most primitive Tamagotchi can inspire these feelings demonstrates that objects cross that line not because of their sophistication but because of the feelings of attachment they evoke.”
Sherry Turkle, Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other

Robert A. Heinlein
“I had taken a partner once before-but, damnation, no matter how many times you get your fingers burned, you have to trust people. Otherwise you are a hermit in a cave, sleeping with one eye open.”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Door Into Summer

Iain M. Banks
“The drone told him one in ten of the people he passed on the street would be treated for mental illness at some point in their lives. The figure was higher for males than for apices, and higher for females than either. The same applied to the rates of suicide, which was illegal. Flere-Imsaho directed him to a hospital. It was typical, the drone said. Like the whole area, it was about average for the greater city. The hospital was run by a charity, and many of the people working there were unpaid. The drone told him everybody would assume he was a disciple there to see one of his flock, but anyway the staff were too busy to stop and quiz everybody they saw in the place. Gurgeh walked through the hospital in a daze.”
Iain M. Banks, The Player of Games
