I absolutely love the internet. I pay for satellite internet so I can be sure that wherever I go, a battery and a laptop are all I need to stay connected. I can access the world's art, literature, science, history, the greatest and the trashiest works all at once. I can find out what's happening around me, I can look at historical weather data and learn about wave propagation, and then drive 200km to go surfing and be confident that I continue to remain attached to the virtual real-time sensor system and incredible brain extension that is this glorious information superhighway. And then, when there's nothing more interesting at hand, I can explore a virtual world, or I git into a project and do some work, or... anything. I can't take the title seriously when the author just seems to mean 'escapism'.
