I go out on the grass by the riverside, and drink wine till I fall asleep. I see a vision of a spirit descending to the earth: there are a thousand copies of him walking the earth, and they float along like ghosts, and cannot speak. Very slowly, the inhabitants of the earth are being replaced by copies of this spirit, and this spirit, this monster is overtaking the earth. These are all your homeless ghosts and wandering starving men; these are all the people of whom we say, "They are small." And there is nothing on the face of the earth but small people, powerless people; and the spirit is slowly populating the face of the earth: this can only mean disaster. We are all made into wandering ghosts and false people, people who seem to be alive but are not alive, people who act like they are conscious but are not conscious. And some of us stop and look about them and say, "Certainly these are not people; certainly these are imposters and machines."
