Quotes by Ray Faraday Nelson (?)

“Few people in the industry, or even in the inside your father’s organization, know it, but today Mike Koyama, as a creative artist, is a totally artificial being. To maintain our standing with the listening public, however, we need a human figurehead.”
― Ray Faraday Nelson, Virtual Zen
