Quote by Margaret Atwood

“«Quando una civiltà è ridotta in polvere e cenere» disse, «l’arte è tutto ciò che rimane. Immagini, parole, musica. Strutture fantasiose.

Devi ammetterlo». «Non è esattamente tutto ciò che rimane» disse Crake. «Di questi tempi gli archeologi sono altrettanto interessati alle ossa rosicchiate, ai vecchi mattoni e alla merda fossilizzata. A volte anche più interessati. Credono che il pensiero umano sia determinato anche da questo».”

“…the end of the Cold War has brought not prosperity for all but a pitiless economic struggle for pole-position on the food chain of information capitalism. The neoliberalism and neocolonialism of the 1990s are the direct heir of the Manchester liberalism and colonialism of the 1890s, the only difference being that whereas Victorian rentiers extracted their Imperial textile-rents from the labor of the Great Unwashed, their postmodern analogues on Wall Street speculate on the viewing-rents of the Great Unwatched.”
