Book cover for Non-things: Upheaval in the Lifeworld
We now consume more information than things. We are literally becoming intoxicated with communication. Libidinal energy is redirected from things to non-things. The result is infomania. We are all infomaniacs now.

James C. Scott
“One day you will be called upon to break a big law in the name of justice and rationality. Everything will depend on it. You have to be ready. How are you going to prepare for that day when it really matters? You have to stay "in shape" so that when the big day comes you will be ready. What you need is "anarchist calisthenics." Every day or so break some trivial law that makes no sense, even if it’s only jaywalking. Use your own head to judge whether a law is just or reasonable. That way, you'll keep trim; and when the big day comes, you'll be ready.”
James C. Scott, Two Cheers for Anarchism: Six Easy Pieces on Autonomy, Dignity and Meaningful Work and Play

Douglas Rushkoff
“The function of a book is to provide a reading experience.”
Douglas Rushkoff

Vernor Vinge
“One of his greatest talents was empathy; no sadist can aspire to perfection without that diagnostic ability.”
Vernor Vinge, A Fire Upon the Deep

Douglas Rushkoff
“Computers don't kill books; people do.”
Douglas Rushkoff

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
