Lately I’ve been having strange dreams:
Britney Spears telephoning me- and us talking about her recent success at video music awards, me congratulating her
An extremely violent post-apocalyptic battle that goes on until our small group is the only living unit we know of. While wandering the dystopian wasteland we discover an electrified fence, on the other side of which is a full parking lot with a distant observation tower obscured in the trees. There are a number of individuals’ faces superimposed over the scene, looking down at us in our realization that our violent reality is in fact just a construct of someone else’s fantasy…
Giant, super-intelligent bears able to jump 4 stories high, attacking me in some sort of old Victorian-era house while I’m watching fearfully through turreted windows - seriously was terrified even though it sounds really silly.

OBSERVATION:
Multi-screen viewing is seemingly anticipated by Burrough’s cut-up technique. He suggested re-arranging words and images to evade rational analysis, allowing subliminal hints of the future to leak through… an impending world of exotica, glimpsed only peripherally.
Perceptually, this simultaneous input engages me like the kinetic equivalent of an abstract or impressionist painting… phosphor-dot swirls juxtapose; meanings coalesce from semiotic chaos before reverting to incoherence. Transient and elusive, these must be grasped quickly:
Computer animations imbue even breakfast cereals with an hallucinogenic futurity; music channels process information-blips, avoiding linear presentation, implying, limitless personal choice… these reference points established, an emergent worldview becomes gradually discernible amidst the media’s white noise.
This jigsaw-fragment model of tomorrow aligns itself piece by piece, specific areas necessarily obscured by indeterminacy. However, broad assumptions regarding this postulated future may be drawn. We can imagine its ambience. We can hypothesize its psychology.
In conjunction with massive forecasted technological acceleration approaching the millenium, this oblique and shifting cathode mosaic uncovers the blueprint for an era of new sensations and possibilities. An era of the conceivable made concrete… and of the casually miraculous.
As an afterthought, the method has an earlier precursor than Burroughs in the shamanistic tradition of divining randomly scattered goat innards…
