As a result of living in a multimedia age with limitless access to streams of live and archived material, as well as ever more wondrous ways to predict or imagine the future, we are exposed to a montage of instants wrenched from temporal context: past, present and future are disassembled and reassembled for us and by us. Without the anchoring of temporality, we live in a perpetual present: the future arrives almost before we’ve thought of it, the past comes back at us in soundbites. We live in the encyclopedia of historical experience, all our tenses at the same time, being able to reorder them in a composite created by our own fantasy or our interests.
Manuel Castells, Quoted in David Bell, ‘Cyberculture Theorists: Manuel Castells and Donna Haraway’
