“When you think about it, it starts a whole other debate about the prophecies of science fiction. Like Big Brother=Internet, etc. I think that 'the rise of the machines/Great Robot Overthrow' is simply our complete dependence on technology. Our utter helplessness. Us, once again, giving over the power without a fight. Forgive me for raving like a crazy person, it's just that I get so amazed at the irony of it all. And I've had too much coffee and muscle relaxers.”
