I'm going to spoil that image because I think you're right. This certainly checks out. Confirmed for hyperstitial dreamsphere intruding upon Japanese unconsciousness.

Fuck that. The Japanese are awesome. Masamune Shirow is just as alert to this as William Gibson. Like a little island-satellite distantly orbiting the rest of this craziness but sufficiently removed from it all after 300 years of feudal order to have an unfailingly interesting outsider perspective on it all.

Check out Tanabe, linked above, or the Kyoto school, for how they think about all of this. Wabi-sabi, mono no aware and all the rest. When Heidegger showed up there all they wanted to do is ask him what took him so long.
>and Lacan was baffled: you can't psychoanalyze these people!

Japan knows what's up. Why does cyberpunk go so mysteriously well with *Tokyo* and not New York? The Naked City and detective novels, film noir et al were good for the 20C. I'll take Tokyo (or Shanghai) for the 21C.
