The graphite sphincter

Terrible things are coming in the world of technology, because we're sick, because we're so sick and wrong. You wouldn't believe the shit I read about all the time, bioluminescent polymers, engineered polyamides that can selectively bond to selectable segments of DNA. Weird protien envelopes that fold and twist of their own accord. Basic nanotechnology by the bushel and pound. The human genome, rolling fast, libraries of the basic data, meaning... What? The full scale digital uplink to the howling mad god of structured commerce. Mr. Spock will be drinking a coke, one thousand fifty seven channels absolutely free on a screen as thin as an issue of Details with all the advertisements torn out. Meanwhile, I settle grumpily for the current state of the art, and watch some screen auteur ravage the corpse of Ritts' canon making a convection oven look sexy. Terrible things are afoot.

klik if you demand tedious explanations of every little thing.
