(extract from below) Wiener wanted the theories put to a practical test. In the late 1940s he teamed up with Dr. J. Hyper-reality, and the Death of Post-modermism. Jean Baudrillard spent a life time writing about how the simulation of reality will soon and maybe already has replaced reality itself. He references Borges Fable where a cartographer starts to draw a map of the kings empire, however through wanting to draw it as accurately as possible with as much detail as possible he ends up covering the whole empire with the map itself. When the empire falls, the map takes its place as the new empire but fades into the landscape leaving neither the land or its representation behind. Baudrillard uses this as an example of hyper-reality and we are now seeing this hyper-reality in the media and advertising, popular culture, music and television.

An ironic dream of a common language for women in the integrated circuit This chapter is an effort to build an ironic political myth faithful to feminism, socialism, and materialism.
Perhaps more faithful as blasphemy is faithful, than as reverent worship and identification. Blasphemy has always seemed to require taking things very seriously. I know no better stance to adopt from within the secular-religious, evangelical traditions of United States politics, including the politics of socialist feminism. Blasphemy protects one from the moral majority within, while still insisting on the need for community. A cyborg is a cybernetic organism, a hybrid of machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction.
