Is the snowflake responsible for the avalanche?
I’m a lifelong reader with a love for physics, psychology, and stories that ask hard questions, and don’t always offer easy answers.
Consultant by day, author by night.
Proud father. Grateful husband.
Based in the U.S., often on the move.

Do not attempt to compete with the machine.

We can never talk enough about artificial intelligence.
Is using it unethical? Stupid? Clever? Condemnable? Unacceptable? Good? Bad?

Some people barely think about it. Others worry too much. I don't have any big answers. But as a reader, I know one thing: I still prefer to read a human book.

I came across an interesting reflection and wanted to share it with you.

This book really messes with your sense of what "truth" even means, showing how every story is something we shape, twist, and build ourselves. Feels pretty damn relevant these days.

Quotes by Michael B. Morgan  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Ordinary things became religion, and when nothing came, cultists invented something to worship: Giant airplanes, runways, and the like. That’s it, mega-mall cult was like cargo cult; the cult of the shopping rush, born out of the need to worship something.”
Michael B. Morgan, Lost in the Shell: Flash and shorts around SciFi: Short stories - Science fiction - Illustrated - English version

“It was early black. The Sun didn’t seem to be the sun, but an eyeball, evil and merciless.”
Michael B. Morgan, Lost in the Shell: Flash and shorts around SciFi: Short stories - Science fiction - Illustrated - English version

“Our lives are fragments. Consciousness can expand. Of course, there is always a price to pay."
"What price?"
"That’s up to each of us, Jax."
"This is all outside the rules."
"You must learn to think the impossible within the canon of the possible, then you will discover the limits within which you can move and dream. We are not God."
"And what are we?"
"We are beyond God.”
Michael B. Morgan, Lost in the Shell: Flash and shorts around SciFi: Short stories - Science fiction - Illustrated - English version
