A Story to Bind Us: The Intellectual Deep Web and a New Grand Narrative

By: The Posts Author | Posted on: 13 Mar 20

A Story to Bind Us: The Intellectual Deep Web and a New Meta-NarrativeWe know ourselves through stories, and we know each other through the stories we share. But for all the beauty of stories, we are drowning in them. This is, after all, the promise of postmodernism; the grand narratives that bound us together have been stripped away and instead the world is fragmented into an infinity of individual perspectives, weaving into a tapestry so thick we can no longer see through it. Wherever we look now, either online or at our institutions and ideologies, we find no single story …
