dont recognize the phrase from the books,but that doesn't mean it wasnt there.
the concept definitely was, tho.
the 'steersmen' "folded" space,making interstellar travel simple and quik.
this also placed them in a near devine position.
in the movie the steersman was the creature that apparently had the wrong
orifice on its face,and made the statement- 'i did not say this;i am not here.'
this line is used by paul shutze to kick off his album 'new maps of hell,'
which is an excellent avant-garde piece,highly recommended to anyone who wants
highly rythmic,trance inducing cyber-jazz. it is on the extreme label i think.
