Evidence

The tautological character of the spectacle stems from the fact that its means and ends are identical. It is the sun that never sets over the empire of modern passivity. It covers the entire surface of the globe, endlessly basking in its own glory. — Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle, 24

Categorization

• FICTION: The empire-of-passivity sun is a ready-made image for a world where a self-illuminating system has no outside.
