AFTER WE DO THE WASHING-UP, I GET TO SPEND THE REST OF the evening reading FAQs on cat maintenance on the web. It takes about half an hour to come to the unwelcome realization that they're almost as complex as home-brew gaming PCs, and have even more failure modes. (When your gaming PC malfunctions it doesn't stealthily dump core in your shoes.)

For physical goods, the twentieth-century limits to choice were based on three distribution bottlenecks—you could only buy things that passed all of the three tests: 1. The products were popular enough for manufacturers to make. 2. The products were popular enough for retailers to carry. 3. The products were popular enough for you to find (via advertising or prominent placement in stores near you). As Amazon showed, the Web could help with the latter two, right out of the gate.

~ Tim O'Reilly
a free spirit in the oneness of the whole enchilada, seeing the world -- material and immaterial -- for the all-inclusive miracle it is: not a continuous undifferentiated glob of stuff, mind you, but more like a great spiraling web whose interconnected threads are beaded with pulsing blips that as much as anything else resemble notes of music. I'm all too aware of how woo-woo this sounds, but it was as real
~ Tom Robbins
Not only did we fail to imagine what the web would become, we still don't see it today. We are oblivious to the miracle it has blossomed into. Twenty years after its birth the immense scope of the web is hard to fathom. The total number of web pages, including those that are dynamically created upon request, exceeds 60 trillion. That's almost 10,000 pages per person alive. And this entire cornucopia has been created in less than 8,000 days.
~ Kevin Kelly
The web holds about a trillion pages. The human brain holds about a hundred billion neurons. Each biological neuron sprouts synaptic links to thousands of other neurons, while each web page on average links to 60 other pages. That adds up to a trillion "synapses" between the static pages on the web. The human brain has about 100 times that number of links—but brains are not doubling in size every few years. The global machine is.

The nature of man is not his internal structure but the network of personal, familial, and social interactions within which he exists. It is these that "make" us, these that guard us. As humans, we are that which others know of us, that which we know of ourselves, and that which others know about our knowledge. We are complex nodes in a rich web of reciprocal information.
~ Carlo Rovelli

~ Carol P. Christ
You blush. You are Charlotte's Web and I could love you.
~ Caroline Kepnes
I found it paralyzingly difficult to make even the simplest decisions. So much hung in the balance, so many complicated parameters needed to be taken into consideration, yet always there was too little information, no way to know what outcomes could result. Life was a terrifying, invisible web of consequences. What mayhem might I unknowingly wreak by saying yes when I could have said no, by going east instead of west?
~ Caroline Kettlewell
Souls were webs of light that contained the essence of a human's life.

~ George R.R. Martin
but the world is one great web, and a man dare not touch a single strand lest all the others tremble.
~ George R.R. Martin
I watch them through the glass: specimens. Flies. I watch them. And I know. In ways normal men cannot: I know. I see thing: beyond things. I see the strands of fate that bind us: victims to victor. So let them scream; let them shout my name. My ears hear nothing but the weaving of the web.
~ J.M. DeMatteis
