"After only a few centuries of intensified state support for their endeavors, the magicians succeed in extracting potentially world-destroying powers from matter. Then the state turns its attention from the physical world to the world of information, or if you prefer from nature to spirit, or what is sometimes revered as the Word. It begins courting that other class of magicians, the ones who specialize not in drawing powers out of matter, but in casting spells and other forms of more abstract wizardry. Within another century we arrive at the present moment, 2024, and the wizards have already managed to start drawing world-destroying powers out of language-processing too." -Justin Smith-Ruiu
