 "The imaginary was the alibi of the real, in a world    dominated by the reality principle. And, paradoxically, it  is the real that has become our true utopia - but a utopia  that is no longer in the realm of the possible, that can  only be dreamt of as one would dream of a lost object."
 - Jean Baudrillard
