Countdown to the millennium. The end or the beginning? Just as Capital's dream of exercising magical, dematerialised control reaches delirious levels – populations, comatosed in its immanent electronics, decorticated nervous systems wired to its terminals, sequences of instructions, error correcting codes, security systems, surveillance networks, flows of contradictory information pulsing electromagnetic waves of pleasure in consumption – a crisis point is reached: a terminal point both catastrophic and irresponsibly positive. Somewhere on the line the perverts have dropped out of the New World Order, begun to construct their own Virtual Machines, to program systems which may not exist, to jam systems already choked with information, feeding viral sub-routines back into Capital's master programmes, micro-errors in social programming bombarding the system with noise, absurdity, psychosis.
