    ... having bowed to the inevitability of the dictum that we must eat to live, we should ignore it and live to eat ...

    But while ignorance can make you insensitive, familiarity can also numb. Entering the second half-century of an information age, our cumulative knowledge has changed the level of what appalls, what stuns, what shocks.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “The matrix is God?”
    “In a manner of speaking, although it would be more accurate ... to say that the matrix has a God, since this being’s omniscience and omnipotence are assumed to be limited to the matrix.”
    “If it has limits, it isn’t omnipotent.”
    “Exactly.... Cyberspace exists, insofar as it can be said to exist, by virtue of human agency.”
    William Gibson (b. 1948)
