Bring on the eschaton! It’s not that I want humanity to die under the relentless stranglehold of silicon-based death machines. It’s just that I love science fiction. And I, for one, bow to our new carnivorous overlords. Speaking of science fiction, this is my favorite quote of the day: “If you look out into the [...]
