AI uralom és többszörös redundancia, és mindez 1972-ből!


- De mégis tudománnyal foglalkoznak - suttogta James.
- Tudománnyal? A tudomány halott. Soha többé nem támad fel. Örökre halott.
- De ismerik a jeleket, az egyenleteket!
- Üres számok, üres egyenletek. De a tartalmuk nem az. Tűnődnek, de nincsenek gondolataik. Nehéz dolog gondolkozni. Az emberek leszoktak róla.

Ich muss zugeben, dass ich zwischendurch aus Unachtsamkeit nicht ganz folgen konnte. Es war okay, kann man lesen, kommt aber zB an Strugazki nicht heran.
