Quotes

Maros1204has quoted2 years ago
I expect this is some second great schism, where two humanities will live, apart but parallel. There will be those who live under the surveillance dome you’re helping to create, and those who live, or try to live, apart from it. I’m scared to death for us all.

Knowledge is property and no one can own it. Infocommunism.
Maros1204has quoted2 years ago
But who wants to be watched all the time?”

“I do. I want to be seen. I want proof I existed.”

“Mae.”

“Most people do. Most people would trade everything they know, everyone they know—they’d trade it all to know they’ve been seen, and acknowledged, that they might even be remembered. We all know we die. We all know the world is too big for us to be significant. So all we have is the hope of being seen, or heard, even for a moment.”

Ненавиджу погані кінцівки, але чого ще можна чекати від тупої головної героїні 😬😂 Сюжет книги - супер, кількість питань для роздумів зашкалює, рекомендую.
