“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.”
~How to Build a Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later
“So we and our elaborately evolving computers may meet each other halfway. Someday a human being, named perhaps Fred White, may shoot a robot named Pete Something-or-other, which has come out of a General Electric factory, and to his surprise see it weep and bleed. And the dying robot may shoot back and, to its surprise, see a wisp of gray smoke arise from the electric pump that it supposed was Mr. White’s beating heart. It would be rather a great moment of truth for both of them.”
~ The Shifting Realities of Phillip K. Dick
