[lbo-talk] Internet's downside

There's a great moment in one of Raymond Williams books, I think that it's

the fantasy of a golden age.  He shows how this fantasy is invariably
connected to the England of the author's childhood, and that the
construction invites an infinite regression.  robert wood
