"A crippling ennui had stained the new cyber dawn, they announced, and the promised dream of universal access to the net had failed to materialise, replaced by stifling commercialism and a divide between the cyber elite (those with access to the net and the power to control it) and the cyber drones (those lacking the cultural capital to break down the virtual walls)."
- from Simon Sellars's Applied Ballardianism
@krozruch yeah, it came out very recently. I'm not done with it, but it feels safe to say that for those who like Ballardian atmospheres it may be a good read ;)

Sounds even funnier than my current read, Sarah kendzior's "the view from flyover country" #kindredSpirit
@dataKnightmare ooh this sounds very interesting too.. a kind of somber funny I would say ;)
