“In an age in which the classic words of the Surrealists - "As beatiful as the unexpected meeting, on a dissecting table, of a sewing machine and an umbrella" -
can become reality and perfectly achievable with an atom bomb, so too has there been a surge of interest in biomechanoids.”
― H.R. Giger, ARh+
