‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.’
Arthur C. Clarke 1917 – 2008

‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.’
‘The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.’
Isaac Asimov 1920 – 1992
Isaac Asimov was an American writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University. During his lifetime, Asimov was considered one of the ‘Big Three’ science fiction writers, along with Arthur C. Clarke and Robert A. Heinlein.
My favourite book by Isaac Asimov is I, Robot. If you haven’t read it yet, go lift one off the shelf – it’s well worth a read.
