"Human mental processes are being systematically 'off-peopled'--that is, transferred into computers, microchips, networks, and mechanical devices of all types. Think of it as a great global brain drain, the most critically pivotal--either empowering or suicidal--trend of our times. Yet it is underreported by the media and virtually invisible to the public eye. It's not yet on policy makers' radar screens."
