"That truth-is-stranger-than-fiction factor keeps getting jacked up on us on a fairly regular, maybe even exponential, basis"
"Anything people build, any kind of technology, it's going to have some specific purpose. It's for doing something that somebody already understands."
"That's something that tends to happen with new technologies generally: The most interesting applications turn up on a battlefield, or in a gallery."
"If ignorance were enough to make things not exist, the world would be more like a lot of people think it is. But it's not. And it's not."
* Quotes by William Gibson who wrote about pattern recognition.
