Beyond Zero and One (Andrew Smart) / quote 14 of 171

Hoping to leave readers more confused

than a year, and thinking about some for at least fifteen, I am more confused now about digital technology and consciousness than when I started writing. Likewise, after you read this book I hope you are more confused about computers, numbers, mathematics, the Internet, consciousness, hallucination, technology, artificial intelligence, and the ultimate nature of reality than before you started.
