Pixelated Semantics

A schizotypical inventory

A meme run amok

Provocative article The Simulacran Republic at the Online Journal:

'We no longer have a country. . . . just the hollow shell of one, a global corporation masquerading electronically and digitally as a nation called the United States. The corporation now animates us from within our very selves through management of the need hierarchy in goods and information. Sure there is flesh within the machine, but its animating force is a viral concept, a meme run amok. Free market capitalism...'

Highly commended writing, with shades of PK Dick (The Simulacra) and Jean Baudrillard (Simulation Strategies). [Original research credit to JQJ.]
