O'Shaughnessy's mouth flattens, his face goes white.

And yet they are present everywhere upon the face of the earth, extending their dominion by the hour, moving around the honeycombs of towering buildings and tied into networks of a complexity that goes far beyond the power of any one individual to imagine, from the thousands of hoists and winches that once worked the South African diamond mines to the floors of today's stock and commodity exchanges, through which the global tides of information flow without cease.

I continuously see myself on an airplane that has unlimited fuel. I go here and there but can't stop. Always flying over my destination.
