How Dystopian Are We Going?

[Blue]

Human beings care about the experiential. Components of the internet that are experiential (games, movies, etc) _do_ tend to be brought up in 'real world' conversation, at least with like-minded people. Facebook, on the other hand, isn't really experiential, so we bring it up a lot less (with exceptions for ridiculous arguments and the like, which are experiences themselves).

The Net, as described, is thoroughly experiential. I don't think personally that it needs to be all-encompassing to be real-world discussion-worthy.

After 27 years, I can't expect that too much on The Net is still experimental. Maybe the stimulation hardware, but the actual action on getting on The Net is probably commonplace.

You've just described 90's anti-establishment cinema. American Beauty and Fight Club come to mind.

Is that a bad thing?
