“Capital burns off the nuance in a culture. Foreign investment, global markets, corporate acquisitions, the flow of information through transnational media, the attenuating influence of money that's electronic and sex that's cyberspaced, untouched money and computer-safe sex, the convergence of consumer desire--not that people want the same things, necessarily, but that they want the same range of choices.” PeopleWantDesireChoicesCultureSexInfluenceMediaInformationSafeComputerFlowInvestmentConsumersCorporateRangeAcquisitionNuanceConvergence Book:Underworld: Picador Classic Source: Underworld: Picador Classic
