“As a computer scientist, I make a living helping to advance the cutting edge of the digital world. Like many in my field, I'm enthralled by the possibilities of our techno-future.

― Blake Crouch, Recursion

“For a bunch of hairless apes, we've actually managed to invent some pretty incredible things.”
― Ernest Cline, Ready Player One
