I have attempted, in my own life and in this book, to reconcile a love of nature with an affection for machines. In the game of life and evolution there are three players at the table: human beings, nature, and machines. I am firmly on the side of nature. But nature, I suspect, is on the side of the machines.

– George Dyson

As read from George Dyson’s AI history book – Darwin among the Machines.

Prefaces are underrated.
