I don't know how anybody can work at home. I know I can't. It's just ... there's too much to do at the house, and now, of course, I have a daughter that's at home, and she's always a draw. I can always drop what I'm doing and go play with her, and I do that all day. -- Daniel H. Wilson

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000320460
As a society, I think we express our cultural mores through our politics. We're trying constantly to figure out what's OK and what's not OK. And it's hard, because our society is constantly buffeted by gale force winds of technology. Things are always changing. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000326945
'Robopocalypse' joins a proud tradition of techno-apocalyptic tales, stretching from high-flying Icarus, to Frankenstein's monster, and to many a giant radioactive creature who has crashed the streets of Tokyo. And then, of course, there's the Terminator. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000344407
Sometimes a technology is so awe-inspiring that the imagination runs away with it - often far, far away from reality. Robots are like that. A lot of big and ultimately unfulfilled promises were made in robotics early on, based on preliminary successes. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000349042
We've been co-evolving with our technology for a hundred thousand years. Human beings and the technology we make were always inseparable. We're finally coming into this moment where it's coming inside our body for the first time in history. -- Daniel H. Wilson

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000487420

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000513892
A robot-arm in a factory doesn't decide minute by minute whether to rivet or revolt - it just does the job is has literally been trained to do. It's if and when we build a conscious robot that we may have to worry. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000513909

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000545973

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000552725

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000585721

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000679849
The goal for many amputees is no longer to reach a 'natural' level of ability but to exceed it, using whatever cutting-edge technology is available. As this new generation sees it, our tools are evolving faster than the human body, so why obey the limits of mere nature? -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000730821
I've heard it said that technology makes a good person better, and it makes a bad person worse. That's okay with me. I say we keep building new versions of ourselves, keep exploring the unknown, and keep growing. We're gonna be fine. Different, but fine. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000735174

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000736923

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000835102

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000895536
The complicated, ambiguous milieu of human contact is being replaced with simple, scalable equations. We maintain thousands more friends than any human being in history, but at the cost of complexity and depth. Every minute spent online is a minute of face-to-face time lost. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000897761
Zombies, vampires, Frankenstein's monster, robots, Wolfman - all of this stuff was really popular in the '50s. Robots are the only one of those make-believe monsters that have become real. They are really in our lives in a meaningful way. That's pretty fascinating to me. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000915432
It's the technology, see? We can't get away from it. Anywhere you find people, you find it. Clever little contraptions. Cunning strategies. We're toolmakers born and bred; and even if you don't believe in anything else, you'd better believe in that. Because that's human nature. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000931696
Robots should stand up for themselves and not try to be humans. They should either utterly destroy us or protect us from aliens. And vampires. And pirates. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 000942306

Demolition is a part of construction. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001003002
It's the one thing we do better than any other animal.
We communicate, cooperate, and make tools to extend our reach. Every new tool changes us ... The old fears the new, and the two threaten destroy each other.
Our technology is what makes us strong. And it's what makes us dangerous. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001044866
Like me, it is comfortably lethal in a wide range of environments. -- Daniel H. Wilson

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001116366
Right now, I think robots are where it's at. And yes, I'm biased. Robots and space, because with home rocket kits and Lego Mindstorm sets, people can get involved. I was raised on Transformers and GoBots, so I can't imagine what kids who are building real robots are dreaming about. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001132603
She is staring into hell and I'm not brave enough to join her. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001134191
In my books the technology that I choose to talk about has to serve the themes. What that means is that I end up having to cut out a lot of cool technology that would be really fun to describe and play with, but which would just confuse everybody. So in 'Amped,' I focus on neural implants. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001138982
What is a mind, but a pattern? My mind or yours. Man or machine. Simply an arrangement of atoms. Each of us, a unique expression of the mind of the universe. -- Daniel H. Wilson

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001160039
Through your actions here today - you have made humankind obsolete. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001180379
You write about what you know. It makes everything easier, and also more truthful. In this case, I grew up in Oklahoma, and I grew up in the Cherokee Nation and I'm a member of the Cherokee Tribe. Oddly enough, I know a lot about robots and Oklahoma, and so that's what comes out in my writing. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001181611
Each new generation builds on the work of the previous one, gaining new perspective. New verbs are introduced. We Google strange and dangerous places. We tweet mindlessly to the cosmos. We Facebook our own grandmothers. I, for one, don't want to be left behind. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001214993
The road ain't even marked. Home don't have to be. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001259502

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001260683

She is quiet for a long time, long enough that I assume she's gone to sleep.
"I think this is just part of it," she says. "Civilisations fall. People keep going. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001273714
You can graph human evolution, which is mostly a straight line, but we do get better and change over time, and you can graph technological evolution, which is a line that's going straight up. They are going to intersect each other at some point, and that's happening now. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001277494
Human beings, perfected by our own technology. Only to be wielded by the chosen few. Not by the sheep but by those who are better, Those who are willing to make it to the stars through blood. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001377061

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001379601

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001390621
We are all expressions of our own minds, projected onto the world. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001458428

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001459294

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001569976
Technology changes, but people stay the same. -- Daniel H. Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001575944

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001577759

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001589797

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001604754
The human beings who appear in the data, survivors or not, are grouped under one machine designated classification:
Hero.
These damn machines knew us and loved us, even while they were tearing our civilization to shreds. -- Daniel H. Wilson

Daniel H. Wilson Quotes : pic 001631905
