Rising Technomass

This text explores the potential formation of a decentralized Technomass of individuals connected by technology and out of the control of traditional institutional structures, including governments and megacorporations. The style of the text, a collaboration between an economic theoretician - poet and a visual artist, is not, surprisingly, out of the usual textual box. It is simultaneously a work of theory, visual art, and poetry meant to reflect (as a two-way mirror) both the out-of-control-ness of the Technomass and the ongoing struggle to redefine humanity by shaping new types of social relationships, new understandings of individuality, and new possibilities for human creativity and communication within Cyberspace.
