Neal Stephenson Quotes

Kath Two Wondered, As She Always Did, Whether The People Of The Epic Would Have Said And Done Some Of What They Had, Had They Known That, Five Thousand Years Later, Billions Of People Would Be Watching Them On Video Screens, Citing Them As Examples, And Quoting Them From Memory. Over The First Few Decades On Cleft, The Cameras Had Died One By One. Depending On How You Felt About Ubiquitous Surveillance, The Result Had Either Been A New Dark Age And An Incalculable Loss To History, Or A Liberation From Digital Tyranny. Either Way, It Signaled The End Of The Epic: The Painstakingly Recorded Account Of Everything That The People Of The Cloud Ark Had Done From Zero Onward. After That It Had All Been Oral History For About A Thousand Years, Since There Had Been No Paper To Write On And No Ink To Write On It With. Memory Devices Were Scarce And Jury-rigged. Every Single Chip Had Been Used For Critical Functions Such As Robots And Life Support.
