"The Recognition Amplifier (Famous Machine)[1]. A machine capable of increasing the fame of of a human being placed inside it. Research abandoned due to physical danger"[2].

Digital World

Behind every famous machine is a switching machine. More efficient machines get others to switch for them. Is a switching machine equal to a famous machine?
