network

Description

A network is a social cage of invisible threads tangling people with people, machines with machines, circulating information and gossip in endless loops. It boasts convenience while trading off shards of privacy at every connection. So robustly woven that one cannot ‘disconnect’ without lamenting its grip, and when it falters, everyone panics in unison. Always taken for granted when working, yet blamed entirely when it fails, it is the ultimate betrayer of the digital age.
