From the blog entry introducing issue 86
Attention all jammers, activists and cultural creatives,
A specter is haunting the mind of the industrialized world – the specter of the virtual. — Metaverse Manifesto
How’s your online life? Are you happily learning, creating, interconnecting … or is your digital existence growing flatter, duller and ever more predictable?
As physical reality crumbles, the bluish glow of the virtual realm beckons and humanity is presented with a Faustian temptation: to abandon our evolutionary home (it’s too damn hot, messy and boring anyway) and become psychic hives of activity in cyberspace. This is the existential choice we explore in Adbusters #86.
