Dan Simmons Quote

Johnny sighed in the darkness. I don’t understand the exact purpose of the Keats Project or the other Old Earth analogs, but I suspect that it is part of a TechnoCore project going back at least seven standard centuries to realize the Ultimate Intelligence.The Ultimate Intelligence, I said, exhaling smoke. Uh-huh. So the TechnoCore is trying to… what?… to build God.Yes.
