"Is it true that you get your names from a computer?"
"Yes."
"How dreary, to be named by a machine!"
"Why dreary?"
"It's so mechanical, so impersonal."
"But what is more personal than a name no other living person bears?"
"No one else? You're the only Shevek?"
"While I live. There were others, before me."
