april 9th of 2009. this is the twenty first century but it could feel as living in a science fiction situation. the twentyfirst century and the sci fi genre. the science and technology. i am writing from cambridge, massachusetts, aqui y ahora. in the institute of technology sometimes feels as the twenty first century is already gone. this sci fi. speeeded it up. technology goes faster and faster. communication, sensors. computers computing and recording. systems. as the systems of tubes for walking underground. the tunels are like ducts. like tubes. long halls connecting different buildings. very convenient for walking under the snow. for the cold weather. in the tunnels many machine rooms producing steam and air. and many wires. network cables. some of the new buildings, as the stata center, doesnt have an underground tunnel. the building of gambito also doesn have a tunnel. it was nice to be part of cms. although i came in the moment of dramatic change. just after henry published his book convergence culture.
