Physical construct - artificially linked
We are implicit, here, all of us,
in a vast physical construct of
artificially linked nervous systems.
Invisible. We cannot touch it.

2. The becoming-net of space
Utopias and religious sagas have often been based on the evocation of spaces radically other. Religion, as an intimate semiotic device, works on the projection of an after-life or a Promise Land (and the idea itself of a Soul points to a non-directly reachable interior space). Modern political utopias, indeed, have often been linked by direct genealogy to the ultra-mundane spaces of religion. /../ The United States, far from European idealism, based their political engine onto the myth of the Far West. In modern times the mythical spaces of power and religion have been followed by the psychic spaces of discipline and biopower.
3. Neurospace as an immanent plane of desire
