Cover Quote: May 1986

Humans are okay. I’m glad to be one. I like them in general, but they’re only human.…The intellectual doesn’t like the idea of this machine doing it better than he does, but it’s no different from the guy who was surpassed physically.…The mere idea that we have to be the best in the universe is kind of far-fetched.



- Edward Fredkin
Quoted in Pamela McCorduck Machines Who Think, 1979
