About the book >.>.> One often hears that we live in an age of anxiety. With th turn of the new millennium it looks as if the scientifi research economic development military interventions an the power of the new media are less and less under publi control and that all kinds of catastrophes can be envisioned in the future. In the last months of the old millennium people already experienced this anxiety when they were bombarded with the danger of the millennium bug. While politicians gave warning to the people to prepare themselves for the possible collapse of computer systems it looked very much like no one was in charge any more in today’s society. The fear of possible catastrophes however quickly turned into a search for the conspirators: when it was clear that there was no millennium bug a theory emerged that the whole fuss around it was created by the computer companies to enable them to sell more advanced computers.
