Pixelated Semantics

Simulacra

Taking commercial piracy to the ultimate edge, the SMH reports that NEC Corporation have discovered an outfit in China who were faking the entire company. I wonder, in shades of PK Dick, if there were other gangs unaware of the operation who were faking the fakes. The pirates apparently 'went as far as developing their own range of consumer electronic products'. As Dick wrote:

'Fake realities will create fake humans. Or, fake humans will generate fake realities and then sell them to other humans, turning them, eventually, into forgeries of themselves. So we wind up with fake humans inventing fake realities and then peddling them to other fake humans.'
