“ Once upon a dream we imagined a digital revolution,
Of friendly global villages, where everyone took in each other’s virtual bins,
Human consciousness uploaded into an expanding sphere of universal social literacy. ”

“ But we need new stories, because the ones we have now, the ones about how
A brighter future is our destiny, how we stand on the shoulders of giants
To see not just further but better, that’s post truth, that’s fake news
There is no happy ever after, no mystical fairy tale millennium where we all wear silver. ”
