More quotes by Daniel H. Wilson
In movies and in television the robots are always evil. I guess I am not into the whole brooding cyberpunk dystopia thing.
Daniel H. Wilson
A soul isn't given for free. The races of men fight each other to the death for the honor of being recognized as human beings, with souls.
Daniel H. Wilson
Robots should stand up for themselves and not try to be humans. They should either utterly destroy us or protect us from aliens. And vampires. And pirates.
Daniel H. Wilson
No matter how much kids beg to be treated like adults, nobody likes to let go of their childhood. You wish for it and dream of it and the second you have it, you wonder what you've done. You wonder what it is you've become.
Daniel H. Wilson
I absolutely believe that a lot of the issues raised in 'Amped' about technology migrating into our bodies are issues that we're really going to deal with soon.
Daniel H. Wilson
You don't pick your revolution. It picks you.
Daniel H. Wilson
Memories fade but words hang around forever.

Without us here to witness, the universe is just pointless physics unfolding.
Daniel H. Wilson
To survive, humans will work together. Accept each other. For a moment, we are all equal. Backs against the wall, human beings are at their finest.
Daniel H. Wilson
Personally, I'm not afraid of a robot uprising. The benefits far outweigh the threats.
Daniel H. Wilson
It's hard to guess how smart the machines are, but a good rule of thumb is that they're always smarter than you think.
Daniel H. Wilson
It's dangerous to be people-blind.

Human reactions to robots varies by culture and changes over time. In the United States we are terrified by killer robots. In Japan people want to snuggle with killer robots.

I was writing a scene where a guy was choking another guy to death. You can go online and type 'chokeholds' and watch scenes where martial artists choke each other out. You can hear what noises they make when they go unconscious, see how their bodies flop and everything. YouTube is amazing for the more detailed stuff.
Daniel H. Wilson
As a society, I think we express our cultural mores through our politics. We're trying constantly to figure out what's OK and what's not OK. And it's hard, because our society is constantly buffeted by gale force winds of technology. Things are always changing.
Daniel H. Wilson
I can only give you words. Nothing fancy. But this will have to do. It doesn't matter if you're reading it a year from now or a hundred years from now. By the end of the chronicle you will know that humanity carried the flame of knowledge into the terrible blackness of the unknown, to the very brink of annihilation. And we carried it back.
Daniel H. Wilson
Technology changes, but people stay the same.
Daniel H. Wilson
It is not enough to live together in peace, with one race on its knees.
Daniel H. Wilson
Zombies, vampires, Frankenstein's monster, robots, Wolfman - all of this stuff was really popular in the '50s. Robots are the only one of those make-believe monsters that have become real. They are really in our lives in a meaningful way. That's pretty fascinating to me.

You want to know what a robot's designed for. And if it's doing something outside the scope of what it's made to do, you should be very suspicious.
