“Ratovi ovog vremena ne zahtevaju izlazak na bojno polje. Ratovati se može bilo gde. Bilo kada. Sa bilo kim. Dovoljan je samo jedan link. Poljane pune leševa zamenile su platoforme na kojima se, umesto krvi, prolivaju tajne i ideje – duša čoveka i novac – krvotok mnogih ljudi. Domeni su postali nove teritorije. Plan rata je zamenjen precizno napisanim kodom. Obuka koju ratnici prolaze ne zahteva fizičku izdržljivost, već fokusiranost ratnika na tren koji može obrnuti planetu. Pobede, umesto jačima, pripadaju pametnijima. Iako bi neko pomislio da su ovakvi ratovi smešni jer ratnici ne gube živote niti krvare, ta pomisao jedna je od najvećih zabluda današnjice. Nož, sablja, top ili tenk... Nikada nisu razmišljali. Ratniku su pružali nadgradnju fizičke snage. Današnje oružje misli na identičan način kao ljudski mozak, ali se razvija znatno brže. Računar pamti čak i ono što čovek uspe da zaboravi. Ipak, ma kada bili i ma koliko različičiti bili... Rat je rat! Nikada nož nije ubijao. Ubijao je onaj koji drži nož. Ni kompjuter ne ubija. Ubija onaj koji sedi ispred njega.”

“Many of the criminal skills on the Web have emerged from an essential division in the philosophical debate generated by the Internet. In simple terms the debate is between those, on the one hand, who believe its commercial role is paramount and those, on the other, who argue that it is in the first instance a social and intellectual tool, whose very nature changes the fundamental moral code of mass communication. For the former, any copying of computer ‘code’ (shorthand for the computer language in which software or a program is written) that is not explicitly sanctioned is regarded as a criminal violation. The latter, however, are convinced that by releasing software you are also relinquishing copyright.”

“Your website is the center of your digital eco-system, like a brick and mortar location, the experience matters once a customer enters, just as much as the perception they have of you before they walk through the door.”

“I’m fighting a losing battle. I can’t tell this story the way it should be told. This whole hotchpotch of characters, events, dates, and the infinite branching of cause and effect - and these people, these real people who actually existed. I’m barely able to mention a tiny fragment of their lives, their actions, their thoughts. I keep banging my head against the wall of history. And I look up and see, growing all over it - ever higher and denser, like a creeping ivy - the unmappable pattern of causality ... How many forgotten heroes sleep in history's great cemetery?”

“There are different realities, she'd say, and the net is a reality with designs on general reality, and I'll prefer it if you both experience the real realities as your foremost realities. You are denying us the education that most kids our age are getting from their devices, I said. No I'm not, she said. Truthfully I'm amazed anyway that you in particular, Bri, seem to know, without anyone ever telling you, how to make devices do what you want them to do. But I'm asking you to source your education more widely and more dimensionally.”
