“You are neither animals nor humans as you imagine yourselves. You, dear strangelets, are a (psy)biocognitive superposition of your situation. Space. Your world. The living networks of Earth.

You have no idea what this means, because if you did, you would have very little interest in machines. You have the potential to become things that not only do not exist — they cannot exist. And that is, actually, your evolutionary specialty.

It is how you got into the trap your own prowess has thus far largely comprised. Memory may well hold the key to your release — and your transformation — from prisoners to heroes.”
