Quotes by Alan Liu  (?)

“Information tech in the era of the personal computer and network is today's equivalent of a Love Bug that not only works but creates a new image of work that allows corporate and other organizational cultures to imagine a cool new vision of themselves.

Information technology, in other words, is an institutional desiring engine.”
Alan Liu
