What Brand Internet?
In my book, Post-Modem: The Interwebs Explained, I discuss many of my favorite Internet Future Theories, including building colonies on Internet. One noticeably absent subject, however, is how we will refer to Interwebs, Internets and Webules in the future. This might seem trivial, but imagine those who said the same thing in the early part of the 20th century.
“How silly! Who cares how we might refer to bandages in this imaginary future. Whether we refer to them as finger stick ’ems, handages or Band-Aids, the blood will cease!”
How silly, indeed. Is what I would say to this hypothetical person. It might seem harsh to use their own words against them, but again, ignorance of the eventualities that time will bring is not an excuse for not understanding how things will work out. Forethought is key when divining what the future holds, and that is what I hoped this segment of my book to be, should I have conceived of it before
Post-Modem Now Available on Amazon and Other Sellers!
A loyal fan has sent me irrefutable proof that my book is now available for purchase on Amazon.com (and at BarnesAndNoble.com, though that screenshot was much less fascinating) for $14.99. I’m also told that, per my request, Amazon is pairing my book with only the most exclusive day-to-day calendars, as specifically related to memes (in this case, an hilarious series of 365 instances of people being mean to dogs).
As I likely, or should have, mentioned in my book, the success of a meme can only be judged in physical terms. Analytics, facts and numbers can only do so much, when applied to the digitalness of the Internet and Internet-based materials. It’s when the physicality of paper comes int

Post-Modem Excerpt: Chapter 5 – The Post-War Interweb
An excerpt from Post-Modem: The Interwebs Explained, which is released on Tuesday, November 17, 2015. From Chapter 5, “The Post-War Interweb”:
Preferring instead to call it a “space race,” the Soviet Union then attempted to soothe strained relations with the United States by sending up a considerably more humorous satellite, in keeping with their desire to create memorable events for those most starving and freezing to death. The following month, they launched Sputnik 2, with an angle toward cuteness – this time they included an adorable dog named Laika, whose presence aboard Sputnik 2 caused a great deal of controversy. While one camp had hoped for a kitten named Mitsa (Russian for “mittens”) to be the world’s first living being to orbit the Earth, Khrushchev insisted that a cat would be too difficult to shove in a space capsule, given their wily nature and sharp claws, an
