IT WAS STILL LIVING ITS OWN UNNECESSARY MECHANICAL LIFE, STILL TAKING AIM, VECTORING IN, AND BELCHING FORTH LEAD, FIRE, AND DEATH, AND ALL OF IT HAD TO BE STRANGLED, BLOWN UP, AND KILLED IN ORDER TO CLEAR A CORRIDOR FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF MORE RADIATION TOWERS.» [THE INHABITED ISLAND, ARKADY AND BORIS STRUGATSKY]
