      1. Only Facebook would be like 'hey our branding is bad what if we rebrand using a term popularized by cyberpunk authors describing a dystopian hellscape created by technology' WillOremus/1441430738168070144

      992 billion dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? Creating the capitalist dystopia.

    Facebook rebranding w/an idea popularized by a book whose core conceit is that some ideas are so viral they are also a drug and a religion, and the ultra rich are leveraging viral ideas in order to manipulate people into compliance to destroy America is just a LITTLE ON THE NOSE!

      Like... it's the sort of thing a cartoon villain would do when the writer is not sure you're getting that they are the villain. It's as if we find out that Blofeld has named his cat Genocide... because the writers of the movie are not sure you Got It.

        I guess... to quote Snow Crash...: “This is America. People do whatever the f*ck they feel like doing, you got a problem with that? Because they have a right to. And because they have guns and no one can f*cking stop them.”

          That should be the real rebrand: Facebook: 'no one can f*cking stop them'

            At times in my life I have wondered about the necessity of a universal liberal arts education but... we definitely need one because how tf do you read Snow Crash and the only thing you get out of it is 'whoa this is such a cool technology, let's make this' ?!?!?
