Quotes

“For average working folks, America was becoming a puzzle. Who was buying all these two-hundred-dollar copper saucepans, anyway? And how was everyone paying for these BMWs? Were people shrewd or just stupefyingly irresponsible?”
Daemon, Chapter 2
“But if they’re so successful, why haven’t parasites taken over the world? The answer is simple: they have. We just haven’t noticed.”
Daemon, Chapter 31
“Fact and fiction carry the same intrinsic weight in the marketplace of ideas. Fortunately, reality has no advertising budget.”
Freedom™, Chapter 2
“My generation has no intention of living as serfs on a corporate manor, Dad. When people became more reliant on multinational corporations than on their own communities, they surrendered whatever say they had in their government.”
Freedom™, Chapter 10
“You never understood games. Maybe that’s why the world was such a mystery to you.”
Daemon, Chapter 45
