"The Internet is strange. It doesn’t make any money. It’s transnational, beyond anyone’s control. It is the great anarchist event."
William Gibson
"A book is a small cog in a much more complex, external machinery. Writing is a flow among others; it enjoys no special privilege and enters into relationships of current and countercurrent, of back-wash with other flows - the flows of shit, sperm, speech, action, eroticism, money, politics, etc. Like Bloom, writing on the sand with one hand and masturbating with the other - two flows in what relationship?"
Gilles Deleuze, I have nothing to admit
