Quotes by Mark O'Connell  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It seemed to me that transhumanism was an expression of the profound human longing to transcend the confusion and desire and impotence and sickness of the body, cowering in the darkening shadow of its own decay. This longing had historically been the domain of religion, and was now the increasingly fertile terrain of technology.”
Mark O'Connell, To Be a Machine : Adventures Among Cyborgs, Utopians, Hackers, and the Futurists Solving the Modest Problem of Death

“Irony is a treacherous servant; unless it's very carefully watched over, it has a tendency to expose the foolishness of its apparent master.”
Mark O'Connell, Epic Fail: Bad Art, Viral Fame, and the History of the Worst Thing Ever
tags: irony

“This is one of the problems with reality: the extent to which it resembles bad fiction.”
Mark O'Connell, To Be a Machine : Adventures Among Cyborgs, Utopians, Hackers, and the Futurists Solving the Modest Problem of Death
