Hi Mr. Jana,
If you still remember, quite a while I gave you a small reading reccomendation here.
Well, after quitting halfway through the section on "America" quite some time ago, I've recently... well, "picked the book back up" may not be the proper term, but... I've recently started reading it again, and I found something that might interest you:
The section right after, concerning the difference between the Analog and Digital, he makes quite a few references to Homer's "Odyssey," especially Sisyphus' punishment to continuously roll a mountain up a hill and watch it roll back down.
Mundus Mea Ostrea Est (Haven't said that in a while)!

Thanks again Justin. I think this shows that "the classics" really are relevant today, even in a world where the technology is vastly different.
I hope you can go back to some of this when we start reading Plato shortly.
Mr. J
