Seems Like It's Always Something, These Days
William Gibson,

What makes William Gibson such an interesting writer is that he understands how our technology and our psychology intertwine. "...our ancient project, that began back at the fire, has come full circle. The patterns in the heads of the ancestors have come out, over many millennia, and have come to inhabit, atemporally, this nameless, single, non-physical meta-artifact we’ve been constructing. So that they form an extension of Johnny’s being, and he accesses them as such, and takes them utterly for granted, and treats them with no more respect than he would the products of his own idle surmise."
