Objects in the Rearview Mirror

Bite down on the cable—keep the school without internet. And when you grow up and become smarter, stand as a wall against trouble, protect people from them—stop it. It’s frightening and painful, but only robots are happy—everything is always fine for them. And you are no longer a robot.

Whatever you do—tiny helicopters or real cars—you’re not a cog in the system. You’re a living person. Advanced microtechnology and a simple assembly conveyor belt aren’t different in themselves—when their owners are obsessed with the thirst for power. But you will be able to fix everything if you want to.

The main thing is to remember: you have to fight idiocy at least so that our children don’t grow up as idiots.

And the things in the rearview mirror are closer than they seem.
