Let's stick to the practical and the concrete: Would you like it if people lived in a virtual world? If machines were smarter than people? If, in the future, people, animals and plants were products of technology? If you don't like these ideas, then for you the computer and biological sciences clearly are dangerous.
People were so naive about plants, Ellie thought. They just chose plants for appearance, as they would choose a picture for the wall.

If people knew. But too many of us choose to look the other way, to keep the veil in place, to remain unconscious and caught in the cultural trance. That way we are more comfortable. That way is convenient. That way we don' t have to risk too much. This is how we keep ourselves asleep.

All this time, there were real things to care about: real, good people who care about me, and this place. It's so easy to get stuck.
