A classic is a book that has never finished what it wants to say. - Italo Calvino

Then we have computer science. It is true that software cannot exercise its powers of lightness except through the weight of hardware. But it is the software that gives the orders, acting on the outside world and on machines that exist only as functions of software and evolve so that they can work out ever more complex programs. The second industrial revolution, unlike the first, does not present us with such crushing images as rolling mills and molten steel, but with "bits" in a flow of information traveling along circuits in the form of electronic impulses. The iron machines still exist, but they obey the orders of weightless bits.

Cercare e saper riconoscere chi e cosa, in mezzo all'inferno, non è inferno,
e farlo durare,
e dargli spazio.

Reading is going toward something that is about to be, and no one yet knows what it will be.
