At the base of the mountains lies Baudrillard's 'Desert of the Real' where the sun of a postmodern plurality beats down hard. If you can even survive the desert you may come across a winding dust track that leads down the Uncanny Valley to the crossroads of a re-programmed exchange, where the neo-real synthesis has already begun. This trompe l'oeil trickery is to become ubiquitous, except the eye is now probably a prosthetic and what we are looking at does not exist.
