"The question had only begun to arise of how to avoid, or, preferably,
escape altogether, the threat, indeed promise, of control without
mercy that lay in wait down the comely vistas of freedom that
computer-folk were imagining then--a question we ares till asking.
Where can you jump in the rig and head for any more--who's out there
to grant us asylum? If we stay put, what is left of us that is not in
some way tainted, coopted, and colonized, by the forces of Control,
usually digitally in nature?"
(Introduction to "Stone Junction", p. xii)
