Debord's words have become even more true today than they were when he wrote them. In the post-postmodern cyber-techno-industrial world, all space is being compressed into a single point. Global homogeneity makes it ever more pointless to go anywhere, because everywhere is more and more the same. As all places become equivalent, and as high-speed travel and instantaneous internet communication decrease the effective distance between points, there is less point in being anywhere, or existing.
