The Post-Everything World

poq writes to you with post-postal technology;  no longer the stamp, envelope and pen, but by some technomancy too complex to comprehend.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” – Arthur C Clarke

We are post-magic.

We are post-post-modern:  incredulity towards the metanarrative has become incredulity towards incredulity, and there is nothing left save inanity.

We are post-American – and we have long been post-European; now we are post-Western.   We are post-boom times; we are post-cheap food, and post-cheap oil.

We are post-Harry Potter, post-Spice Girls, post-Facebook, maybe even post-Oprah.

We are in the post-everything world, because our we cannot sit still anymore, and we cannot pay attention for more than 24 hours at a time.  We are not post-Pixar yet, but we will be next week.  We are post-ideology, and post-Chinommunism; we are post-everything but the Cloud.

Are we post-Hillary too?

Are we post-Hillary too?

May it long sustain us.
