"Max had to think about these new developments. He hadn't liked getting hit by a rock--his stomach still ached from then rock Judith had thrown--but then again, when his team had used rocks on Alexander, it had caused him to surrender.

They were content, they had won. The fighting would be done by others, elsewhere."
"He handed Mae a piece of paper, on which he'd written, in crude all capitals, a list of assertions under the headline 'The Rights of Humans in a Digital Age.' Mae scanned it, catching passages: 'We must all have the right to anonymity.' 'Not every human activity can be measured.' 'The ceaseless pursuit of data to quantify the value of any endeavour is catastrophic to true understanding.' 'The barrier between public and private must remain unbreachable.'
