    Relevant quote:
    """
    All the people who are invisible in the normal world (the world
    run by the rich and powerful), all those people you can dismiss
    on the street as powerless and harmless -- ALL THOSE PEOPLE are
    now in your face.
  
    You can feel their hot breath on the Internet.
    """

It seems the more we become intertwined with the Internet, the more we start feeling their hot breath in real life. Or at least, the more we notice it.
