Famous Quotes By Daniel H. Wilson

  1. As a kid I wanted to write science fiction, and I was never without a book. Later I really got into being a scientist and never thought I'd be writing novels.
  2. Change creates fear, and technology creates change. Sadly, most people don't behave very well when they are afraid.
  3. I absolutely believe that a lot of the issues raised in 'Amped' about technology migrating into our bodies are issues that we're really going to deal with soon.
  4. I absolutely don't think a sentient artificial intelligence is going to wage war against the human species.
  5. In movies and in television the robots are always evil. I guess I am not into the whole brooding cyberpunk dystopia thing.
  6. Right now, we have the most complex relationship with technology that we've ever had. Your regular person has more technology in their life now than the whole world had 100 years ago.
  7. Robots are interesting because they exist as a real technology that you can really study - you can get a degree in robotics - and they also have all this pop-culture real estate that they take up in people's minds.
  8. We humans have a love-hate relationship with our technology. We love each new advance and we hate how fast our world is changing... The robots really embody that love-hate relationship we have with technology.
  9. We've been co-evolving with our technology for a hundred thousand years. Human beings and the technology we make were always inseparable. We're finally coming into this moment where it's coming inside our body for the first time in history.
  10. You probably found 'How to Survive a Robot Uprising' in the humor section. Let's just hope that is where it belongs.
