― Bruce Sterling, The Epic Struggle of the Internet of Things

“The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”
― Soren Kierkegaard

“Google sells network surveillance and collective intelligence. This is Google’s actual, profitable, monetisable product. “Search” is merely Google’s front end, a brilliant facade to encourage free interaction by the public. People are not Google’s “customers” or even Google’s “users”, but its feudal livestock.”
― Bruce Sterling, The Epic Struggle of the Internet of Things
