think there's a culture of Silicon Valley that seems to have the attitude that you can have it both ways, that you can be an insurgent but also, ultimately, it's paid for by advertising, when in fact advertising is totally retrograde.

A good part of 'The Information' is about the transition from an oral to a literary culture.

That's why the orientation you adopt is so important: it exerts a powerful influence on your life direction.
