March 24 - The World

Completion of cycles, wholeness... the totality, perhaps.

A coy card... a funny card... a mysterious card. Could it be taken like the old joke, that whatever comes after what the World Wide Web brings about will have to be settled with sticks and stones?

Or, does it simply mean that these gigantic shifts that determined the shape of technicity-- codebreaking, biopolitics, advanced weaponry and game theory, then networked finance-- throughout the cycle of the 20th century? What will the 21st look like, then?
