“America is a giant hologram, in the sense that information concerning the whole is contained in each of its elements. Take the tiniest little place in the desert, any old street in a Midwestern town, a parking lot, a California house, a Burger King or a Studebaker, and you have the whole of the US — South, North, East, or West.”
— Jean Baudrillard, America
QOL: beauty, meaning and truth
