There were times in its history when the United States came close to suggesting what a Utopian project might be, but the less appealing sides to American life now seem to be in the ascendant; there's a self-infantilism strain that gives America the look of Peter Pan's Never-never land. However, the future may well be a marriage between Microsoft and the Disney Company; an infantilized entertainment culture imposed on us by the most advanced communications technology. [JG Ballard - intv Hans Obrist, 2003]
