"The XXI. The most important fact of 20th century life is that people have become hackable animals. If you have enough data and enough computing power, you can hack people and understand them better than they understand themselves. You can predict their decisions, manipulate their desires and sell them anything you want, be it a politician or a commodity. This means that data is becoming the most important resource in the world.

""A XXI. századi élet legfontosabb ténye az, hogy az emberek hackelhető állatok lettek. Ha elég adatod van és elég a számítási kapacitásod, akkor meghackelheted az embereket és jobban megértheted őket, mint ők értik saját magukat. Megjósolhatod a döntéseiket, manipulálhatod a vágyaikat és bármit eladhatsz nekik, amit csak akarsz, legyen az politikus vagy árucikk. Ez azt jelenti, hogy az adat válik a legfontosabb erőforrássá a világon."
