Whole Earth Review, Summer 1994
“Running in place at the speed of light, we defensively cling to our unexamined notions of categories, our dilapidated signposts in a bleak landscape. They make things simple again. Reflections of control, they reassure us that there’s a time and a place for everything. […] They are easy systems. Use them, but doubt them. They are the rules of the game, but perhaps no longer the one being played.”
