From a review of a new book on our "liquid modernity"

[Mark Kohut]

 and tell me P did not see this with Cherrycoke's storytelling?

...seems to bring to fruition the Adornian prophesy that, at their most
intense, practices of rationalisation collapse into mythology. Indeed, what
liquidity provokes is a new form of mythmaking—not the Marxist kind
premised on the idea of false consciousness manipulated by a ruling class,
but a *collective* form of mythmaking, in which the aggregators and
interpreters of information are just as much participants in the myth as
the average individuals who provide the input and consume the output."
