Terminal Identity: The Virtual Subject in Postmodern Science Fiction
"The pervasive domination by, and addiction to, the image might be regarded as a primary symptom of terminal identity. The 'image addict' is a metaphor which exists in and through the media, subject to forces that might at first seem to be controlled by the instrumental forces of government and/or big business, but that ultimately seems to signify the passage into a new reality. The spectacular world of television dominates and defines existence, becoming more 'real' (more familiar, more authoritative, more satisfying) than physical reality itself" (Bukatma, pg. #26).
"Video, a startlingly ubiquitous documentary medium, is also the archetypal electronic'and hence manipulable'form. It is increasingly evident that society, ever more defined by a system of electronic representations, is based on an accepted fiction, or a 'consensual hallucination,' to use William Gibson's definition of cyberspace" (Bukatma, pg. #30).
