Google made Kafka the Google Graphic of the Day (tm) today.
Here's a riddle! What's it called when the company who owns America's data....The company who's always surveilling, knows everything you know, how you know it, and what you plan to use your information for. The company who knows about your family, your friends, your spouse and even knows all the different types of photographs you have of each person. The company that's seen every bit of text I've ever typed, and in fact, are owners of the publishing software I'm currently using (extra irony!). The same company that doesn't even fully understand what they're going to do with this information yet, besides sell it to somebody. Really, the very locus of digital fear, the embodiment of post-modern (ugh!) paranoia: Google
What's it called when "They" use a Metamorphized cartoon bug to parody their own omnipresent logo?
Kafkaesque.
Happy birthday, Franz!
I would say the top three most Kafkaesque things in human history are:
1. The Holocaust
2. The Cold War
3. Google
But what's funny about Google is, they seem to embrace the idea of being a disembodied force that always knows what you're doing no matter what you do.
So, God basically.
GOOGLE IS GOD!
