turning nature into substance & matter, "nothing is al
lowed to live".

3509 --
If our world survives, the next great challenge to watch out for will come...
when the curves of research & development in artificial intelligence,
molecular biology & robotics all converge. Oboy. It will be amazing &
unpredictable, & even the biggest of brass, let us devoutly hope, are going to
be caught flat-footed. It is certainly something for all good Luddites to look
forward to if, God willing, we should live so long. Meantime, as Americans,
we can take comfort, however minimal & cold, from Lord Byron's
mischievously improvised song, in which he, like other observers of the time,
saw clear identification between the first Luddites & our own revolutionary
origins. It begins:
As the Liberty lads o'er the sea
Bought their freedom, & cheaply, with blood,
So we, boys, we
Will die fighting, or live free,
& down with all kings but King Ludd!
