Change creates fear, and technology creates change. Sadly, most people don't behave very well when they are afraid.

More quotes by Daniel H. Wilson
It's dangerous to be people-blind.
Daniel H. Wilson
When a man resists sin on human motive only, he will not hold out long.
Daniel H. Wilson
Each new generation builds on the work of the previous one, gaining new perspective. New verbs are introduced. We Google strange and dangerous places. We tweet mindlessly to the cosmos. We Facebook our own grandmothers. I, for one, don't want to be left behind.
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
Personally, I'm not afraid of a robot uprising. The benefits far outweigh the threats.
Daniel H. Wilson
How much change can a person absorb before everything loses meaning Living for its own sake isn't life. People need meaning as much as they need air.
Daniel H. Wilson
As a kid I wanted to write science fiction, and I was never without a book. Later I really got into being a scientist and never thought I'd be writing novels.
Daniel H. Wilson
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.

We've been co-evolving with our technology for a hundred thousand years. Human beings and the technology we make were always inseparable. We're finally coming into this moment where it's coming inside our body for the first time in history.
Daniel H. Wilson
Right now, we have the most complex relationship with technology that we've ever had. Your regular person has more technology in their life now than the whole world had 100 years ago.
Daniel H. Wilson
Sometimes a technology is so awe-inspiring that the imagination runs away with it - often far, far away from reality. Robots are like that. A lot of big and ultimately unfulfilled promises were made in robotics early on, based on preliminary successes.
Daniel H. Wilson
I wrote a query letter to an editor - a friend of a friend. The editor called me an idiot, told me never to contact an editor directly, and then recommended three literary agents he had worked with before. Laurie Fox was one of them, and I've never looked back.
Daniel H. Wilson
Without us here to witness, the universe is just pointless physics unfolding.
Daniel H. Wilson
I absolutely don't think a sentient artificial intelligence is going to wage war against the human species.
Daniel H. Wilson
It is not enough to live together in peace, with one race on its knees.
Daniel H. Wilson
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.
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
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
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.
Daniel H. Wilson
Across the sea of space lies an infinite emptiness. I can feel it, suffocating me. It is without meaning. But each life creates its own reality.
Daniel H. Wilson
