More quotes by Daniel H. Wilson
Humans are inscrutable. Infinitely unpredictable. This is what makes them dangerous.
Daniel H. Wilson
It's dangerous to be people-blind.
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.
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
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 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.

Johannes Cabal would kill me for saying this, but he's my favorite Zeppelin-hopping detective. The fellow has got all the charm of Bond and the smarts of Holmes--without the pesky morality.
Daniel H. Wilson
If popular culture has taught us anything, it is that someday mankind must face and destroy the growing robot menace.
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
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
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.
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
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
When a man resists sin on human motive only, he will not hold out long.
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
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
I absolutely don't think a sentient artificial intelligence is going to wage war against the human species.
