Bruce Sterling describes in the preface of “Spasm”, why he actually reads arthur kroker — one of the hippest contemporary media and social theorists.
“Frankly, I only stumbled across Arthur Kroker because, in antlike fashion, I was following the scent-trail of people dressed in black. I myself customarily dress in black. So does Arthur, apparently. Ive noticed over the years that a certain fraction of the entire populace of the Group of 7 dresses in black.”
yes, i costumarily dress in black, too. but i stumbled across mr. kroker while searchig the net for information about the (social / critical) theory of cyberspace.
