Pat Cadigan Quote

'Truth is cheap, but information costs.' I can't remember who said that.
Vince What's-His-Name, said Sam. Died in a terrorist raid or something. I thought you said all information should be free.
It should. It isn't. Knowledge is power. But power corrupts. Which means the Age of Fast Information is an extremely corrupt age in which to live.
Aren't they all? Sam asked him.
