Thinking and writing about the notion of “Digital Deluge” and browsing through literature to see if anyone coined the term already. Only found one reference, a quaint article from 2011 warning about an explosion of MP3 downloads and Kindle usage. The real Deluge is going to be entirely different: a planetary-scale, industrialised torrent of synthetic media, endlessly generated, contextless yet contexful, self-replicating, seductive and engineered to overwhelm cognition, perception, and meaning itself.
