Those master brains had perished. They had left full directions, it is true, and their successors had each of them mastered a portion of those directions. But Humanity, in its desire for comfort, had over-reached itself. It had exploited the riches of nature too far. Quietly and complacently, it was sinking into decadence, and progress had come to mean the progress of the Machine.

--"The Machine has been most merciful!" --"I prefer the mercy of God."

我心中的科幻神作

100年前的福斯特对未来人类社会的预测能力，是建立在对人性的体察，而非理工类科技幻想的基础上的。对疏离、隔离、“进步文明”的心态，拿捏得精准，不服不行。

其实里面的很多东西，现实中已经完全做到了。里面人与机器的关系也可以类比到很多地方
