a look into the future reveals the coming of a culture that will no longer depend on precisely rendered symbols to initiate and transfer meaning between individuals.
everything will be blurry or noisy and filled with modulating static.
in a time when shadows have also been eliminated, many other physical occurrences and processes will be manipulated using an experimental type of injectable computer software that invades all levels of reality through the bloodstream and acting like a virus, is transferred to individual terminals via bodily fluids.
one version of this program, marketed as a means of achieving immortality, will creep into the world wide network of information and out onto the plains of the earth and the cities in the sky through the sweat on a user's fingertips.
this infection will be advanced after the user touches an input device such as a keyboard.
the peripheral input device will absorb the viral material, which in this instance will be all about deconstructing diphthongs and compound letters; qualifying intrinsic meaning; and identifying error as an efficient and therefore noble quality.
as the process progresses, the letters on the keyboard will re-arrange themselves, almost mystically. the wires and circuits will buzz ecstatically as they are invaded and relieved of their certitude.
the altered cpu will hum a little song while launching itself into cyberspace, filling even that most abstract realm with new visions and new versions of everything.
