"The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village."
- Marshall McLuhan, "Gutenberg Galaxy", 1962

"Books were only one type of receptacle where we started a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical about them at all. The magic is only with what books say, how they stiched the patches of the universe together into one garment."
- Ray Bradbury, "Fahrenheit 451", 1951
