Language is Fear

“…the future is desolation. Progress has reached its peak. Earth’s possibilities have been explored and exhausted. Spacemen have conquered and have been conquered, and God has been offered the ultimate challenge-human resurrection.

Only one man still lives in a world made- and destroyed -by his progenitors. Now he faces extinction through the machinations of those who have inherited the earth-Robots.”

Prologue: Who can Replace a Man?, Brian Aldiss, 1965
