Stone, Del Jr. "I Feed the Machine." Live Without a Net. Lou Anders, editor. New York City: Roc, 2003.[1]

"[...] early in Del Stone, Jr.'s [...] 'I Feed the Machine,' the nameless narrator explains the story's setup: 'The machine is a man. He is called a Tabulator. He performs calculations, and he is the company's most valuable asset' (190). If any set of sentences sums up the vive of most of Live Without a Net (and perhaps cyberpunk itself), these are the ones!"
