Notes: The skin of culture: Investigating the new electronic reality

De Kerckhove, D., & Dewdney, C. (1997). The skin of culture: Investigating the new electronic reality. London. Kogan Page.

With virtual realities upon us, we may find it increasingly difficult to distinguish between our “natural” selves and the electronic extensions. Page 177.

The environment has ceased to be a neutral container for our activities. It is made of information, it is becoming “intelligent” and, via the media, everything is coming out into the open. Page 179.

The connection between public and private mind is done via the open and connected networks of the planet. We will soon recognize that reality and this “public” mind are the same. Page 188.
