"Ours is ʻa new form of schizophreniaʼ, Baudrilliard said of the current era, “the emergence of ʻan immanent promiscuity and the perpetual interconnection of all information and communication networksʼ leads to ʻa state of terror which is characteristic of the schizophrenicʼ, that of ʻan over-proximity of all thingsʼ (Baudrillard, 1988c:27) (Baudrillard, J., & Lotringer, S. (1988). The ecstasy of communication. Foreign agents series. Brooklyn, N.Y.: Autonomedia).
