“It was as if a giant spider's web stretched across the surface of the world. A web of illusion, woven of processes, of regulations, of artificial human relationships which little by little covered all of reality in order to replace it. To escape it, one had to go ever higher into the mountains, or deeper into the heart of the most remote forests, where a few sanctuaries still subsist, but for how long ? In ancient times, cartographers used to imagine that monsters awaited us in the unchartered parts of the world. But in reality, the monsters are brought there by us.”
