"The whole human memory can be, and probably in a short time will be, made accessible to every individual... It need not be concentrated in any one single place. It need not be vulnerable as a human head or a human heart is vulnerable. It can be reproduced exactly and fully, in Peru, China, Iceland, Central Africa, or wherever else.. It can have at once, the concentration of a craniate animal and the diffused vitality of an amoeba." H.G. Wells, 1937, "World Brain"
