culture descending into highly amusing insanity
Woo. Another of the bizarrely logical cultural diffusion moments:Valley of the Wolves: Iraq, a wildly successful Turkish film, billed as a Rambo style revenge fantasy with Americans as the bad guys. In hindsight, it was only a matter of time. The moose is really quite into turning cultural propaganda techniques back on the users; much as any counterculture techniques can be appropriated by the mainstream, as technology gets cheaper, the fringes can hack the techniques of the centre. Bring on the chaos.
Meanwhile, in what has to be almost the coolest thing ever; not only did they build an android replica of Philip K Dick that could walk and talk and pass for almost human, but now it has gone missing after vanishing from the plane it was on. Phil has been gone a few weeks now. If you find a wandering replicant quoting PKD books, please send it to me. The moose will happily grant Phil asylum as an independent lifeform.
I really hope it writes a book.

Thats great! I think Mr Dick would be stoked to hear about this turn of events!
Art imitating life, imitating art, imitating something else… mad mad world
The story of what Phil does with his freedom could make a really beautiful film.
