“What happens in the real world is always a sideways-case scenario.”

“There's nothing so passionate as a vested interest disguised as an intellectual conviction.”

“I'd rather be a cyborg than a goddess.”

“We are all going to be searched, and we are all going to be tracked. The only question is, who is going to do it?”

“The future has a way of arriving unannounced.”

“To be a futurist, you don't have to be right. You just have to be interesting.”

“Privacy is a function of power.”

“The future is an arms race between going broke and going crazy.”

“Technology is a cultural product. It’s not an alien invasion.”

“I'm not a visionary. I'm a writer.”
