I did profile of him for The New Yorker, which I enjoyed very much and his home was, probably still is, filled with gadgets of all kinds because he was very, very interested in gadgets, electronics and things. And we went to the Artificial Intelligence Lab and he said, 'We have to be careful of that one, because it comes after people'. So it was one we had to be careful of. I think Marvin invented the word 'hacker' because he invented the notion of if you do a good thing, it's called a hack. I believe that's his word, 'hacker'. He's one of nature's originals.
