Figure 1-12. Nature belongs in the circle.
Even without visible bridges, all our ecosystems are linked. That's what John Muir meant when
he said anything is hitched to everything, and it's what Ted Nelson was getting at too when he
wrote that everything is deeply intertwingled.
The only constant isn't change. There's connectedness too. Weaving them together to mend cul-
ture is the work of our age. To succeed, we'll need information and inspiration which means
looking forward and back, as literacy is a legacy we inherit, build upon, and bequeath. Given
fuzzy goals, we'll also need humor, because while frame-shifting is heavy lifting (like camping
it's intense) it's also the secret to a good joke. So, let's play with categories and the occasional
pun, because our destination isn't clear long after the journey has begun.
