Epigraph

Like all the men of Babylon, I have been proconsul; like all, I have been a slave. I have known omnipotence, ignominy, imprisonment. Look here - my right hand has no index finger. - Jorge Luis Borges, 'The Lottery in Babylon'

In the whole world there is no-one who does not welcome it like reason. - Confucius, talking about jade

Dedication

First words

The African American marine in the gray Mercedes will soon die of bites from Naja siamensis, but we don't know that yet, Pichai and I (the future is impenetrable, says the Buddha).
