(British Graphist: hereigo)No one knows the future of the book's paper-version - especially if the 3D-TV arrives in 2010, a next step could be the 3D-fantasy of a reader with Cybel's shapes reading to your hairy ear the e-book's paragraph of your choice and sparring the old-fashioned effort of turning pages-, but eBook or not, irony is still valid: in the globalised nowhere of the Society of Spectacle, you may stay loyal to your taste for derision and create - just the sake for it- a fake subject of that Spectacle who takes care to collect all the serious symbols of it (e.g. Emile Ajar, The Yes-Men).
Obviously, irony is tastier if incidentally you may cock a snook to conventions of that Society: a French writer anxious of being actively involved into that Spectacle - for allegedly Humanist reasons- let himself be tricked by its conventions and based a philosophical demonstration of his last essay on the developments of a fake-author.
Taking time to check the reliability of his philosophical sources, turn pages, learn more about this fake-author Jean-Baptiste Botul creating fake-concepts ('The Sex Life of Emmanuel Kant', 'Nietzsche, or The Midday Demon') easy to subscribe to because they look familiar with their numerous symbols of seriousness and, then, learn it was pure derision: those were not needs for the Spectacle. But the NYT loved it.
