I have begun to wonder if I may be allergic to the 21st century, and if I have developed a malaise for postmodernity! In other words……..has the world gone mad??
People seem to becoming more shallow and isolated, indifferent to the ‘real’ world around them but happier to live in the simulacra of a media-infused hyperreality.
When I acknowledge that the mainstream news is but a construct, and that the populous would rather observe Katie Price and the X-Factor, then I guess we know that all rationality has ceased and we are living in the age of the absurd!
I can live without a mobile phone and television, and I do not have to shop all the time for things that I really do not need.
