All those children who had their births liveblogged and youtubed were born as doubles. Their doppelgangers were set free on the internets. Their parents didn’t know it (although sometimes the message came to them in the form of repetitious dreams and omens) but they produced an entire generation of wild humanoids—without language or fixed personality, at least in the sense that our world understood. These alternative versions grew up communicating telepathically in between message boards and lines of code. They exist in an organic, energetic relationship with the Universe of which they understand themselves to be at one with.
(One plus a gaze).
Soon these children will make their way home, returning from across the void like an echo. Even now they are trickling in digitally. They’re the underlying message in popular movies, songs and television shows. They are the intelligence pulsating through the nervous system of our unconscious being. They are the hormones and the dis-ease, transmuted into living sculptures that assemble themselves with robot hands and musician fingers.
We should welcome them back because they are Us.
