First sentence: If the story of the 19th century was the machine (the extension of human control over the environment by mechanical means) and the story of the 20th century is electronics (radical extension of that control by harnessing the electron), then the story of the 21st century may be best described by Thomas Pynchon as a time " "when the curves of research and development in artificial intelligence, molecular biology and robotics all converge."
