Is the net witchcraft? In his Grammatron, Marc Amerika plays on the polysemy of source code/sorcery code. I recently learned that in Congo the internet is called ‘kindoki’s letter’, kindoki meaning a spirit of witchcraft…?

Considering the many alerts and cries about the wicked influence of the net on our daily lives, one might just wonder if they aren’t right ;)
