There's something arrogant about this poem. |
| Gus: |
Yeah. It is good to remember the universe goes on perfectly fine without us. |
| Nadya: |
This theme is mentioned in a lot of literature: civilizations spawn their own tyrants. |
| Liao: |
And isn't the most enlightened act of any tyrant is to abdicate? |
| Nadya: |
Alas, that may be easier for machines to do than it is for humans . . . |

Last CyborgUploading encrypted files into a master directory I avoid thinking what the future is about: nano-seconds ahead is all I prefer to see Turbocharging weapons in order to make more of the universe mine I sit behind a master access panel surrounded by tetrabytes of data making me virtually blind After aeons of calculation a solution has appeared: all non-primary sources should be eliminated so non-digital life forms can reappear Swiftly reconfiguring projections and going through simulation protocols I enter the correct command sequence and watch my own destruction as a glorious new world unfolds |
