10 | ->Proton turned to gaze upon the electronic edifice that covered the entire wall behind him -- twenty square feet of humming circuits and clicking relays, jumping meters and whirring dials, chattering printers and clacking numerical displays, scrolling LED messages, spinning spools of reel-to-reel tape, and lights that blinked on and off for no apparent reason. Multiple imagizers showed scenes from across the dominion of Man -- lush hydroponic farms in the Sahara desert, towering megastructures in earthquake-prone regions, [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey toroid space stations waltzing to Blue Danube]], the vast hydroelectric dam spanning the Straits of Gibraltar. Yet this machine was merely a terminal, commlaser-linked via artificial moons to the gigantean electronic brain beneath the ice of Antarctica. A man had once foolishly said there was a worldwide demand for only five computers. [[LittleDidIKnow Little did he know]] a computer would one day become so powerful it could handle the demands of the entire solar system! |

19 | ->We surrendered to the computer. Not just the US, but the whole world. It’s in charge now. "[[NamesGivenToComputers Helios]]," it calls itself. I don't know if the government gave it that name or it chose it for itself. [[TheComputerIsYourFriend But it says this is all for our own good]]. There will be no more war. And all it took was a nuclear holocaust and the loss of all our freedoms. |
20 | ->We're not allowed to talk about the truth: that Helios did all this. It says it intervened to save us from ourselves, but everyone knows that's a lie, no matter what "our" government says. We built computers to serve us, and this one was supposed to protect us. [[GoneHorriblyRight I guess we finally outdid ourselves...]] |
