To Gerda,
who is my Jane
In memory of Ruth Ebner, also known as Pepper, who was not just a faithful reader but also an advocate of my work and much loved by her many friends
Creating a neural [brain] lace is the thing that really matters for humanity to achieve symbiosis with machines.
—ELON MUSK
Ain’t it strange the way we’re ignorant
How we seek out bad advice
How we jigger it and figure it
Mistaking value for the price
—PAUL SIMON, “So Beautiful or So What?”
