“But if we push toward a notion of the cyborg that owes more to Donna Haraway, we can see that much of our culturally emphasized music of the past twenty years owes its existence to the way musicians manipulate the web of digital technologies.

“In fact, science fiction . . . is no longer anywhere, and it is everywhere, in the circulation of models, here and now...”
--Jean Baudrillard

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
--Richard Feynman
