"Chaos won yesterday. The lesson of this loss is that networks aren’t machines. We cannot control networks the way we control machines. We must decentralize our control, distribute intelligence and allow the network to learn and adapt. We will find someone to blame and throw some bums out of office. We will serve ourselves well if, at the same time, we add to our ability to trust innovation.

The machine era is over. Things fall apart; the center cannot hold.

We live in a world of networks. The real lesson of yesterday is that the time has come to know the beast."
