Now, this end of the Neolithic going along with the
electronic is a return to the tribal encyclopedia.
It’s a return to tribalism in the sense of a kind of
comprehensive, inclusive consciousness. But it’s
not pre-literate, it’s post-literate. And it’s very
different to be post-literate from being pre-
literate. We have no precedent for this, no way of
getting our bearings. Nobody to tell us what’s
happening. We are suddenly projected into a world
where everything happens at once—that is
electrically.
