It's counterproductive to blither on about the future. It's always somebody's future, and we're not who we used to be.

We might be on the brink of an apocalypse if, instead of poor people with suicide bombs killing middle class guys, middle-class people with suicide bombs started killing rich guys.

Cyberspace is the funhouse mirror of our own society.

The frontiers of the future will be the ruins of the unsustainable.

Obsolescence and death, the reign of the archaic, the abandoned, and the corny: Really, if you saw Windows 3.0 on the sidewalk outside the building, would you bend over and pick it up?!?

The future is unwritten. Cyberspace is the funhouse mirror of our own society, reflects our values and our faults, sometimes in terrifying exaggerations. It doesn't matter who you are today, if you don't show up in that mirror you are just not going to matter very much. Our kids have to show up in the mirror.

The future is a process, not a destination.

People in the Pentagon had colleagues killed and maimed by bin Laden. They're trying to find bin Laden and kill him and his cult. Naturally they consider that a legitimate thing to do, but they're having mixed success at the job.

Hackers are arrogant geek romantics. They lack the attentive spirit of inquiry.

I used to think that cyberspace was fifty years away. What I thought was fifty years away, was only ten years away. And what I thought was ten years away... it was already here. I just wasn't aware of it yet.

The internet brought many laudable things, but prosperity, stability, accountability and honest politics were not four of them.
Bruce Sterling
Image
Political people don't solve stuff - not really. Political people are like guys in pop music.

Privacy under what circumstance? Privacy at home under what circumstances? You have more privacy if everyone's illiterate, but you wouldn't really call that privacy. That's ignorance.

David Brin is a technological determinist. He thinks that we understand the trend and we need to hop on it. I don't have any such illusions.
