«Hasta ahora, la violencia humana había estado limitada por las escasas fuerzas físicas de que disponían los Estados. Mientras las megamáquinas anteriores se habían visto forzadas a depender de la energía humana para ejercer la dominación, habían quedado restringidas a la escala humana y, lo que es más, habían estado expuestas tanto a los ataques del exterior como a la corrupción intestina. Pero la nueva megamáquina no sabe nada de estas limitaciones: puede exigir obediencia y aplicar el control mediante una amplia gama de máquinas eficaces, con menos intermediarios humanos que en el pasado. En un grado imposible antes de nuestros días, la megamáquina lleva una capa mágica que la hace invisible: incluso sus servidores humanos están protegidos emocionalmente por su distanciamiento del blanco humano que incineran o aniquilan.»
