“The Airborne Toxic Event has in fact occurred, and it’s even worse than he imagined. Subtler, more insidious, its victims’ deaths prolonged: resembling a normal cloud more than anything obviously virulent. And one of its first victims was the Culture.

“The internet is nothing but a jumble of nonsense, an atrocious mixed metaphor. It’s not meant to be understood. First and foremost, it’s a web that you surf. What the hell does that even mean? It not only defies sense but the very laws of physics! And now, apparently, it also contains a cloud. And this is something that’s supposed to be secure? That which looks solid but in fact is not, something literally as thin as air? Perfect!” HumorTechThe InternetWeb 2 0Mixed MetaphorThe Cloud Book:In Limbo Source: In Limbo
