Pancake People
“Today I see within us all the replacement of complex inner density with a new kind of self-evolving under the pressure of information overload and the technology of the ‘instantly available.’ A new self that needs to contain less and less of an inner repertory of dense cultural inheritance – as we all become ‘pancake people’ – spread wide and thin as we connect with that vast network of information accessed by the mere touch of a button.”
– Richard Foreman, playwright
