More from R.U. Sirius (real name, Ken Goffman)
Wearing blackout goggles and a Lycra glove, or perhaps a full-body
cybersuit, you might be plugging into your PC and mentally inhabiting
space there. You might build yourself a room there. And decorate it.
You might entertain good-looking friends there. You might fall in
love. - 1992

I'm just astonished by the terror that can be unleashed by these
things. Who's going to control all this technology? The corporations, of
course. And will that mean your brain implant is going to come
complete with a corporate logo, and 20 percent of the time you're
going to be hearing commercials? - 1992

One of the great ironies of information economics is that while
information can be trivially copied and the information bandwidth
continues to widen, the individual's attention bandwidth is as
narrow as ever. In information economics, post-scarcity reaches
its reduction ad absurdum. - 1994

Maybe there's some evolutionary force pushing us toward a
complete exteriorization of our individual psychic landscapes, a
mutual exposure. Clearly, we are wiring ourselves in, each to the
other. We seem to be creating, through media and
communications technology, what some have called a species-
wide nervous system. - 1994
