the electric age gave us the means of instant, total field awareness.

with such awareness, the subliminal life, private and social, has been hoicked up into full view, with the result that we have social consciousness presented to us as a cause of guilt feelings.

existentialism offers a philosophy of structures, rather than categories, and of total social involvement instead of the burgeois spirit of individual separateness or points of view.

in the electric age, we wear all mankind as our skin.
