In Gibson's imagined "2005", there's the power of DatAmerica, commodification of Nightmare Folk Art, the villainous redevelopment of San Fran—while there is also care, solidarity, and polis of The Bridge, Shapley, and, sure, the TV production Cops in Trouble. It's all confused, land, power, people.
From "Pre-History of the Cloud" (2015): But if the cloud has turned geography into the virtual flows of market capital, it has also spawned a number of equally virtual political movements that challenge this vision. At the same time that networks describe the newly dematerialized corporate structures, they also have shaped capital's seeming opposite: antiglobalization protests. The loosely organized Occupy Wall Street protests seemed, like the Internet, to be resistant to the "hierarchical centralization of 'the mob," even creating, one political scientist claims, a new form of "cloud protesting." Yet as much as the Occupy protests were enabled by social media, they have also been very much about occupying specific buildings, public places, and locales. As Etienne Balibar points out, any sort of deterritorializing communications technology is dialectically related to its opposite: "the constitution of a network is also of course a reterritorialization."

Reading "Pre-History of the Cloud" (direct.mit.edu/books/monogr...) right after William Gibson's "Virtual Light" and noting how they're describing similar aspects of global capital, but in different ways—twenty years apart.
From "Pre-History of the Cloud" (2015): "When cloud computing enters into the picture, this puzzle becomes particularly complicated, because the cloud buries or hides its physical location by design. The cloud is so named because the Internet has traditionally been represented as a cloud in network diagrams: it "has no fixed topology and typically covered varying geographic areas." The cloud thus offers a vision of globalization that follows the dictates of a multinational corporation-a coalition of geographic areas that move capital and resources through the most efficient path. Just as it is cheaper for Apple to use Ireland as its tax domicile to avoid paying US taxes on its French operations, for example, it is more efficient for Facebook to serve some of its Japanese customers from a Singapore data center."

From "White Noise": The ruin is built into the creation, I said, which shows a certain nostalgia behind the power principle, or a tendency to organize the longings of future generations. Murray said, "I don't trust anybody's nostalgia but my own. Nostalgia is a product of dissatisfaction and rage. It's a settling of grievances between the present and the past. The more powerful the nostalgia, the closer you come to violence. War is the form nostalgia takes when men are hard-pressed to say something good about their country."

From "White Noise" by Don DeLillo: "When he did speak, about the other boarders or the landlord, there was something querulous in his voice, a drawn-out note of complaint. It was important for him to believe that he'd spent his life among people who kept missing the point."

From "The Two Doctors Górski" (2022) by Isaac Felman: "The best?" Marec was warming to his subject now. "Don't you usually find that it's the best of you that distracts from your work? Your moral doubts. Your maddening sense that as you get older, people get more complex. Confusion about what's right. Self-hatred, when you disappoint yourself. Knowing your limits. God, knowing your limits, the edges of what you're capable of seeing. As if a person can be a scientist after they've touched the edge of the universe and felt that it's only paint. When you get older, your imagination stops being limitless, and then that's it for your magic. That's the whole kit. Roll it up and go home." "How much older?" "Forty-two," said Marec without hesitation.
