I continue to think about the gem Robin points us to of the double meaning
and double appearance of the radio fugue/fugue state image/phrase. This
whole scene of a clan awakening and the different needs and methods people
use to adjust to the day , get their bearings, food/fuel of choice,
distraction of choice, game, opportunity of choice is P s own
list-making Fugue. Some in the camp feel disconnected from the info flo
that is the new commons, some prefer the connections of family and place.
All through this section there is a theme of real and false history and
of a society that recreates itself through the stories and music it
takes in, the media that tramsmits it, the games it plays, and how and
whether it responds to the messages that come in, how it sorts the
important from the trivial.
