Prometheus (Lucifer) stole the fire of the Gods (Elohim) to give to primitive man. Now as we are mesmerized by our glowing black rectangles (e.g. iphones) there is Hell to pay. Mephistopheles is always a master of the art of the deal and like Prometheus we will get our due. He his liver devoured in the lonely Caucuses crags only to regenerate each day, us our hearts torn asunder by the alienation of modernity. In 1990 at CERN the capstone was laid atop the pyramid of the ages. The internet became a world wide web. In 2001, with 9/11 the spider started his work in earnest. The capstone was gilded. An Odessy in cyberspace, with ever greater HALs (Human Abstraction Levers).

The world's a stage. Laugh and ridicule if you want but even the audience are players.
