From Wm. Gibson's "Spook Country"[A] 1992 calendar...decorated with a drastically saturated daytime photograph of the New York skyline, complete with the black towers of the World Trade Center. These were so intensely peculiar-looking, in retrospect, so monolithicly sci-fi blank, unreal, that they now [2006] seemed to Milgrim to have been Photoshopped into every image he encountered them in.
¶ 12:49 PM
I let go of the law, and people become honest.
I let go of economics, and people become prosperous.
I let go of religion and people become serene.
I let go of all desire for the common good,
and the good becomes common as grass.
When the will to power is in charge,
the higher the ideals, the lower the results.
- Lao Tzu
