"We no longer live addicted to speech; having lost our senses, now we are going to lose language, too. We will be addicted to data, naturally. Not data that comes from the world, or from language, but encoded data. To know is to inform oneself. Information is becoming our primary and universal addiction."-Michel Serres, The Five Senses: A Philosophy of Mingled Bodies (Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers)
