“The coming wave is defined by two core technologies: artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic biology.”
― Mustafa Suleyman, The Coming Wave: AI, Power, and Our Future

“The irony of general-purpose technologies is that, before long, they become invisible and we take them for granted. Language, agriculture, writing—each was a general-purpose technology at the center of an early wave. These three waves formed the foundation of civilization as we know it. Now we take them for granted.”
― Mustafa Suleyman, The Coming Wave: AI, Power, and Our Future

“And if you were not trained, the lesser members of the galaxy that had become visible were so many as to drown the familiar constellations. The night was wild with suns.”
― Poul Anderson, Tau Zero

“The unifying ideas of fractal geometry brought together scientists who thought their own observations were idiosyncratic and who had no systematic way of understanding them. The insights of fractal geometry helped scientists who study the way things meld together, the way they branch apart, or the way they shatter. It is a method of looking at materials—the microscopically jagged surfaces of metals, the tiny holes and channels of porous oil-bearing rock, the fragmented landscapes of an earthquake zone.”
― James Gleick, Chaos: Making a New Science
