Culture of Fenspace
“ | The results of living inside a proscenium arch of satellites is that the young now accept the public spaces of the earth as role-playing areas. Sensing this, they adopt costumes and roles and are ready to "do their thing" everywhere. | ” |
—Marshall McLuhan, From Cliché to Archetype |
When people get together in groups larger than the family, they form a society (or a group of societies), and societies have their own habits, practices, and taboos - their culture. These articles describe aspects of Fen Culture.
