Public Sticky notes
the future is already here, it's just badly distributed.

In the South, not only is the past not dead, it's not past.

we are getting better at producing more futures faster.

The first anthropological question is how we have managed to get ourselves stretched between Gibson's futures (the ones that get here early, I mean) and Faulkner's pasts (the one that won't go away, I mean). The second is how we live in a world when the present isn't actually very orienting, when what we live in is, potentially, all worlds at once. Economies just not to be responsive. Culture need to be something more than that. They need to be orienting.
