"Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad."
- Neal Stephenson, "Snowcrash"
Quick, to the lifeboats
"the Machine did not transmit nuances of expression. It only gave a general idea of people--an idea that was good enough for all practical purposes"
