From Paul Scott's 'The Raj Quartet' (part 1) |
“They were predictable people,
predictable because they worked for the robot. What the robot said
they would say, what the robot did they would do, and what the robot
believed was what they believed because people like them had fed that
belief into it. And they would always be right so long as the robot
worked, because the robot was the standard of rightness.

There was no originating passion in
them. Whatever they felt that was original would die the moment it
came into conflict with what the robot was geared to feel.”
