Worse than being talked about

I love the interweb, I really do. Not only does it allow activists to connect and coordinate, and facilitate their rebellion against repressive regimes, it also offers the opportunity for the rest of us to make predictable jokes about Ryan Giggs, and feel that we’re as brave and transgressive as the Arab Spring protesters for doing so. Even more importantly, it now provides a dedicated space in which everybody can talk about me.

Even if nobody wants to...

But hey, I shouldn’t feel bad about that. Nobody wants to talk about Baudrillard either. Or the Arab Spring, or even Ryan Giggs.

What if they staged a digital revolution and nobody showed up?
