Virtual reality no longer works only at the scale of individuals, as in madness, but at the scale of the world. One should therefore turn around one of the commonplaces of conservative cultural criticism: In contrast to the notion that new media turn us into passive consumers who just stare numbly at the screen, the real threat of new media is that they deprive us of our passivity, of our authentic passive experience, and thus prepare us for mindless frenetic activity - FOR ENDLESS WORK.
