The Call of Cthulhu is a fantastic piece. But what's your thought process around, reconciling Lovecraft's views on race, with naming your product after his work? Why does he get a pass in tech/internet culture?
…quaint. It feels more and more like we're heading to that society, but in quite a different way. The Hobbit - Quite an enjoyable story. Do Android Dream of Electric Sheep? - Pure madness.

I always feel that the second reading really seals it in my mind!

《克苏鲁的呼唤》是一部神作。但你们在把自己的产品以他的作品命名时，到底是怎么去调和洛夫克拉夫特的种族主义观点的？为什么他在科技/互联网文化圈里总能被网开一面？

……古朴别致。感觉我们越来越走向那个社会了，只是方式大相径庭。《霍比特人》——相当令人愉快的故事。《仿生人会梦见电子羊吗？》——纯粹的疯狂。什么是真实？《克苏鲁的呼唤》、《敦威治恐怖事件》——H.P. 洛夫克拉夫特。还有相当多的菲利普·K·迪克短篇。我觉得我大部分书大概都读过两遍。我总觉得读第二遍才算真正刻进脑子里！

……你将不得不为自己的实现方案辩护，说服同事不要重写代码，还得把产品卖给过去对你们失望过的客户。这本书提供了恰如其分的工具。——H.P. 洛夫克拉夫特的《克苏鲁的呼唤》以及泛克苏鲁文学。读这本书时我有一种强烈的既视感，但这是因为洛夫克拉夫特确实是开辟并把克苏鲁宇宙恐怖推向……的先驱。

“……展示出逼真的现实，以及我们在其中可怕的处境，我们或者会因这种启示而发狂，或者会从致命的真相之光中逃跑，躲进一个和平而安全的新黑暗时代。”——H.P. 洛夫克拉夫特，《克苏鲁的呼唤》。我觉得这正是现实中发生的：我们从致命的光芒中逃跑，躲进了各种令人心安的、悲观的、保守的绝对主义大杂烩里。末世虚构作品如此受欢迎也是出于同样的原因——……
