I think the primary insight that has been secured here at the end of the twentieth century, primary contribution of twentieth century thinking, if you will, is to have understood, finally, that information is primary; that this world, this cosmos, this universe, this body and soul, are all made of information. Information is a deeper and more primary concept than space, time, matter, energy, charge, spin, angular momentum. The world is made of language. The implication for the digerati is that reality can, therefore, be hacked. If reality is made of language then what we’re saying is that it’s code, and if it’s code, then it is far more deeply open to manipulation than we ever dared dream.
