A two-panel comic. In the main panel, a bearded man gestures as he explains to a younger person holding a phone: 'Imagine: you can share information instantaneously with fellow travelers around the world! But you can only organize activism by sending your personal information to a large multinational corporation in a way that makes them rich.' The younger person raises a fist excitedly and says, 'WHOAAA, TRIPPY.' A caption below reads: 'Have you ever wondered if you're living in a Philip K. Dick novel?' The joke frames present-day social media as the kind of ironic dystopia a sci-fi author might invent. The votey is a black-and-white close-up of a stern old man's face declaring: 'People will spew personal information in every direction while complaining about privacy!' — punctuating the contradiction.
