my not-a-day-over-a-year old laptop has a nasty cut across the front and a bit of plastic sticks out like unwanted confetti. now, if i could express the rage, the grief and the despair that this makes me fee,l i think it would go a long way to explaining consumer culture, the nature of the relationship between humans and (antropomorphised) objetcs, comfort shopping and the dangers of the information superhighway. amen.
