Free Fall in Crimson
“If you can get so complicated you confuse yourself, imagine how confused the poor computers are going to be." "Is she putting me on, Meyer?" "She's giving you good advice. If you try to hide, you are easy to find. You are leaving only one trail in the jungle, and the hounds can follow that one. Leave forty trails, crossing and recrossing.
The computers are strangling on data. The courts are strangling on caseload. Billions of pieces of paper are floating around each month, clogging the inputs, ...confusing the outputs.

With each new computer that goes into service, your identity becomes more and more diffuse and unreal.MoreLess
