Neal Stephenson Quote
The biggest machines, in those days, were already pushing the limits of what could be constructed on Arbre with reasonable amounts of money.I hadn't known that, I said. I always tend to assume there's an infinite amount of money out there.There might as well be, Arsibalt said, but most of it gets spent on pornography, sugar water, and bombs. There is only so much that can be scraped together for particle accelerators.
