SCANALYZER

Tracking with Closeups Details matter, and sometimes provide an entirely different way of looking at things. Reductionism isn’t a dirty word here. Continuity History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes. Things are as they are because they were as they were. Tracing the threads that cross the years and ages. Context How does it all fit together? Often, understanding something requires seeing its connections to other, seemingly unrelated, things. Discovering those connections yields insights not visible from the individual pieces. The Happening World What’s happening now, in the news, science, technology, and the increasingly bizarre events of a world spiralling ever closer toward a synthesis of Idiocracy and Heinlein’s “Crazy Years”.
