When the union of the born and the made is complete, our fabrications will learn, adapt, heal themselves, and evolve. -Chapter 1: THE MADE AND THE BORN, pg.24
Some of the hurdles that stand in the way of fabricating a distributed computer mind are being overcome by building the network of computers inside one box. -Chapter 2: : HIVE MIND, pg.41
We can be certain that whatever artificial closed systems we fabricate will sooner or later be opened. -Chapter 8: CLOSED SYSTEMS, pg.195
Eco wrote that he was on a "journey into hyperreality, in search of instances where the American imagination demands the real thing and, to attain it, must fabricate the absolute fake." -Chapter 13: GOD GAMES, pg.299
The entire project was designed as a computer simulacra so intricate and precise that Northrop didn't bother fabricating a mechanical mock-up before actually building the billion-dollar plane. -Chapter 13: GOD GAMES, pg.313
David Ackley and Michael Littman, both of Bellcore's Cognitive Science Research Group, set out to fabricate a non-Darwinian evolutionary system in a computer. -Chapter 15: ARTIFICIAL EVOLUTION, pg.376
A new industry called automatic fabrication takes the data from a CAD and instantly generates a 3-D prototype from powered metal or liquid plastic.c. First an object is just lines on a screen; then it's a solid thing you can hold in your hand or walk around. Instead of printing a picture of a gear, automatic fabrication technology "prints" the actual gear itself. -Chapter 16: THE FUTURE OF CONTROL, pg.388
Some answers are unexpectedly being uncovered in a research project on interactive literature begun at Carnegie Mellon University. There researcher Joseph Bates fabricated a world called "Oz," somewhat similar to the tiny room of John and Mary that Steve Strassman created. -Chapter 16: THE FUTURE OF CONTROL, pg.402
A graphic jock at Apple, Peter Litwinowicz, fabricated a great hack. He extracted the body and facial movements from a live human actor and applied them to digital actors. H -Chapter 16: THE FUTURE OF CONTROL, pg.410
