"...there is a desperate need in modern society forthere is a desperate need in modern society for new ethics and a new understanding of what self-interest and survival really are in a world which becomes increasingly centeralized, inextricably multinational and, ironically hugely dependant on its creative elements."
Thats from the preface of Count Brass by Michael Moorcock... was just reading it...
then he goes on to talk about how we feel that we are all free even though the society is actually controlling us to a large extent...
"...People somehow thought that if everyone felt good, everyone would get good... a simple minded notion that if you made things look right then they would therefore be right. It could be that illusion or style dtyle is an important element in modern society especially as the illusions get more and more realistic and the realities become increasingly illusionary..."
you get the feeling that the book supports chaos as against order, as order leads to decay. I totally agree....
cheers
