“The future is already here, just not evenly distributed.”

Ben Hammersley's prescient speech to the IAAC.

"Fundamental Truth Number two is that the internet is the dominant platform for life in the 21st century."

"We can bitch about it, but Facebook, Twitter, Google and all the rest are, in many ways the very definition of modern life in the democratic west. For many, a functioning internet with freedom of speech, and a good connection to the social networks of our choice is a sign not just of modernity, but of civilisation itself."
