"People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say,

mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddle
d
together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It=E2=80=99s
a new kind of
togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it=E2=80=99s the togethernes
s of
modern technology."

-J.G. (James Graham) Ballard (b. 1930)
British author. repr. in Re/Search, no. 8/9 (San Francisco, 1984)
