AKA Digitally Mediated Social Contagion
It turns out 2021 really is the year of the meme. First the Washington, then Wall Street.
Memetics has been a perennial topic on Network Address, almost from the beginning. In fact, you might say the only two things you're likely to find on here are about memetics and fakes.
Now that the mainstream pop culture bots have taken the wheel on this one, it's time to turn our attention further outwards. What will it be next, who knows. But if Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End is any manual for the future (as it sure as hell has been so far), then we should start seriously thinking about physics engines and artificially intelligent entities.
Looking forward to an interesting decade ahead.
