"They're coming to examine me, do things to me, check me."

One day our instrumentalities could revolt; if they do, that might not be such a bad thing in every instance, corrupt human nature being what it is . . .

Resources:
- John William Jakes hit the jackpot with his historical novels: Wikipedia (HERE); but in his early career he produced SFF fairly regularly; see the SFE (HERE) and the ISFDb (HERE).

The bottom line:
   "It doesn't think anything we don't want it to think."
   "That's sad," said Montag, quietly, "because all we put into it is hunting and finding and killing. What a shame if that's all it can ever know."
