Additional quotes by John Twelve Hawks

The Turing Test tried to make a distinction between humans and machines. But these days Shadow programs like Edward and Laura can be programmed to say "I love you" or imitate other emotions. If a machine wanted to act like a human, then it had to deny the truth. Lying, not love, is the fundamental indication of humanity.

Love is just another means of manipulation. We can use that emotion like we use hatred and fear.

The Grid still exists even if you don't see the lines.
