When did science fiction and reality become indistinguishable? How have the writings of Ballard, Burroughs and others directed our lives and the technology around us? Steven Shaviro, author of Connected discusses life in a network society. Also: our series on the Mid-East, today focusing on the Arab media. Also, a 9/11 memorial is chosen, street vendors, and debating the Arab media.
