Dr. Alistair Finch grew accustomed to Antarctica’s quiet, not because it was empty, but because it felt genuine.

It's chess between two players. While one person can read minds, the other has the ability to predict the future.
Chess is a game of two players, but the game is won by a player who has the ability to read minds. If I can read his mind, then I know that he knows that I know that he knows what move he's going to make. But if he can read my mind, then he knows that I know that he knows that I know what move he's going to make and so on.

Humans are already robots and we have no idea who made us or why! Now all we have to do is figure out which planet they came from and why they look almost exactly like humans.""There was more to Mark's story.""His robot hypothesis led him discover another very surprising thing: all humans were manufactured on a remote planet with similar conditions as Earth in a factory that created thousands of human-like robots each day.""Mark knew this because he had worked out a way
