A Soliliquey“Money has lost its narrative quality...money is talking to itself...the glow of cyber capital. So radiant and seductive...Does it ever stop? Does it ever slow down?...The idea is time. Living in the future….Look at those numbers running. Money makes time. It used to be the other way around. Clock time accelerated the rise of capitalism. People stopped thinking about time and concentrated on hours. Measureable hours…it’s cyber capital that created the future...time is a corporate asset now...the present is harder to find…”
