America. today. walking through the city. life is modular. mix and match friends. cell phones. disposable computers. bored kids creating self tailored disorders. finally, sexuality is not an issue. besides its a currency in itself. accelerating technology. and music. and raves. and djs. life is a record where the turntable needle plays only the good parts. floating political communities of winnable radicals where information is prestige. so some thing. wish. want. and believe. isolated micro-communes. a global mega corporation with only three employees. girls who study the history of the united states through all of its 2 am parties. guys who try to forget life from day to day and unknowingly sell their memories on the emotional black market. shopping is a lifestyle. design is a nation. nanotechnology in the hands of the young. some checkout mainframe computers from the local library. others obsess over new versions of the united states that upload daily across the internet.
