Stupid questions are exhausting!
Ummn do you have a book on Romans in the USA?
Why don’t you have any books by Ibid? He’s written a lot of important stuff.
We have become information narcissists, so uninterested in anything outside ourselves and our friendship circles or in any tidbit we cannot share with those friends that if a Marx or a Nietzsche were suddenly to appear, blasting his ideas, no one would pay the slightest attention, certainly not the general media, which have learned to service our narcissism.
What the future portends is more and more information - Everests of it. There won’t be anything we won’t know. But there will be no one thinking about it.
Think about that.

Seattle Public Library Art Installation
“Tony Oursler’s artwork is a series of three video sculptures. The installation is a contemplation on the transmission of information. The artwork is designed to reflect the tradition of the public library and its expanding role as the transmitter of myriad information forms: spoken, printed, recorded, and digital. The installation will be located within the walls of the escalator connecting levels 3 and 5. Three video sculptures will be revealed through holes in the walls. Inside the walls, a tableaux of faces and their features will be projected among the wiring, studs and pipes and onto white forms, which act as 3-D screens.” S.P.L. website
