We build our computer systems the way we build our cities

    "computers", not "computer systems".

        It's a misquote. Ellen Ullman writes "computers" in her book.

  It made me think about planned cities, in China, Malaysia, etc. Most of these are ghost cities, and it makes me think the first part of this quote is true in general
