Our idols are all dead, and we live in perpetual twilight in the glow of the new technology.  Prepare yourself to be heartless, soulless, quick to lose interest and quick to sting.  If you linger for a deep thought, they are already upon you, tearing out your innards.  You must be just as vain, and just as facile; you must be another buzzing drone, flicking from screen to screen to screen.

That's the world we live in now.
