learning to speak in a foreign geometry.

Forms of communication emerging in the 21st century will seem beyond comprehension, even to those that understand the mechanics of them. New generations of virtual communication will make possible synaesthetic forms of communication, in which brainwaves are interpretted and given auditory, visual, or linguistic content and delivered to an Other in a mediated environment. Such communication, which will also include the direct download/upload of vast quantities of information between users, will make available wholly alien forms of experience. Such experience can only be likened to hallucinogenic or altered states of perception, and granted we do not destroy ourselves before hand, will be part of our evolution into a wholly new form of life.
