The millennial spectation culture under Gentle and Lace-Forché

texture · standing, YDAU

• When: standing condition of YDAU — the mature O.N.A.N. entertainment order
• What: The O.N.A.N. era's social texture: 94% of paid entertainment now absorbed privately at home (InterLace pulses, cartridges), half of metro Bostonians working from home, mass simultaneous exercise programs — a "whole new millennial era, under Gentle and Lace-Forché." The flip side is a new hunger for live public "spectation" ("spect-ops": Gapers' Blocks at waste-splatters, the annual pond-draining, street crowds), the political and the entertainment orders fused. The setting in which the A.F.R. can abduct the WYYY engineer in broad daylight off a crowd-thinned hillside. See the Tech thread, the Samizdat thread.
