Fiore, perfectly, on material with which readers are dreadfully familiar. Drink deep of the phogiston and mentufactury [1].
As a side note, the Fiore cartoon illustrates the hype of the tech giants now occurring almost weekly. When anyone gets to do overdoing things so frequently, you know they’re your enemies.
Whatever world they’re in, it bears no relationship to yours.
Actually, it’s not the various technologies and innovations themselves, but the hype that accompanies each shiny new technology that really gets my cartoon gears turning. I’m a huge fan of 60 Minutes, but their piece on Jeff Bezos and his drones made the days of Mike Wallace selling cigarettes look dignified.
[1] mentufactury: A kind of pompous term for bullshitting, especially the variety associated with flacking for your information business, hardware, software or the Internet. — Crypt Newsletter, 1995
