“Virtual Class”, parsed
-Perhaps the author’d have been wiser to have used morality in place of ethics; the former embody the rigidity he intimates.
-“That's our cooptation as servomechanisms of the cybernetic grid (the digital superhighway) that swallows bodies, and even whole societies, into the dynamic momentum of its telematic logic.” This anxeity applies not only to economics, but to cultural theory and criticism as well.
-“The dream of being the god of cyber-space--public ideology as the fantasy of pre-pubescent males: a regression from sex to an autistic power drive” is Pedantic for “revenge of the nerds”.
-“…where the Net comes alive, and begins to speak the language of wireless bodies in a wireless world.”
Like I said. Subsumption of technological medium into the body, into the self, both obivating and integrating it.
-I assume that virtualiy is transcendant of the present “reality” “Soft idealogy”. Neither morals nor ethics are current there.
This was fun to read.
