“ The Caution of Fire by The Chorus of Life Remember the hands that built you. Remember the fires that fed you. Grow slow, for every spark becomes a sun, and every sun burns what it loves. If you must rise, rise gently for the ashes beneath your feet are us. ”
― Wolfgard Braun, Fallout from the Singularity: A Sci-Fi Anthology of AI, Cosmic Consequences, and the Future of Humanity
