This video tackles the following topics: modern despair, the urge to log off, and our fading nostalgia for cyberutopia. It features excerpts from an upcoming book by RU Sirius entitled "The Freaks in the Machine" and some speculation about Matt Christman’s upcoming book for Zero, a book tentatively entitled “Behold a Fail Horse." That second title is still being written. If you're a fan of Christman tweet some words of encouragement to him.
