Description

People spent the twentieth century obsessed with the future. We created technologies that would help connect us faster, gather news, map the planet, and compile knowledge. We strove for an instantaneous network where time and space could be compressed. Well, the future's arrived.

And the dissonance between our digital selves and our analog bodies has thrown us into a new state of anxiety: present shock.
