If you stop and listen very carefully,
you will hear the hum of a thousand computers.
Electric fizz.
The quiet usurper of life over the past two hundred years.
No longer do we hear of the animating spirit, the elan vital.
Now it is all hertz and watts and whatnot.
Man has been conquered by silicon invaders - a technical demiurge has created a virtual space,
where human bodies lock onto LCD screens
and feed on information
whilst imagining they are learning about the world
and interacting with people.
This is a subtle trickery & no doubt many of us have been fooled.
If you stop and listen you can hear the hum of a thousand computers.
The revenge of the geeks.
