Holotopia
Imagine...
You are about to board a bus for a long night ride, when you notice two flimsy, flickering streaks of light emanating from two wax candles, placed in the circular holes where the headlights of bus are meant to be. Candles? As headlights? You rub your eyes in disbelief. What sort of nonsense is this? A weird joke? An art project?
Well of course, the idea of candles as headlights is absurd. So why talk about it? The reason is that on a much larger scale, where the the things such as our society and the way it handles information are so large that we cannot see them with naked eye—this absurdity has become reality.
Our handling of information must be changed.
