Markoff – 'Machines of Loving Grace' NYT Review
- drallison 11y agoThe Markoff book's title comes from a 1967 Richard Brautigan poem from his free chapbook of the same title. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Brautigan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Brautigan. "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace" I like to think (and the sooner the better!) of a cybernetic meadow where mammals and computers live together in mutually programming harmony like pure water touching clear sky. I like to think (right now please!) of a cybernetic forest filled with pines and electronics deer stroll peacefully past computers if they were flowers with spinning blossoms. I like to think (it has to be!) of a cybernetic ecology where we are free of our labors and joined back to nature, returned to our mammal brothers and sisters, and all watched over by machines of loving grace.
