I've just understood something I should have known long ago. Not only did the moron plutocrats misread SF as science, and dystopias as utopias: they thought the villains were the heros:
Ash: You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
Lambert: You admire it.
Ash: I admire its purity. A survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.
Remind you of anyone?
