Speaking of the desktop screen (perhaps, as a
metaphor) on p. 104:

   "... such a hyperflat world provokes a paradox,
   in which one cannot help pursuing the invisible
   _precisely because_ the invisible is turned
   into the visible and lined up on the same plane
   one after another."

   "... at this point another kind of desire
   emerges: the desire to tranform as many
   invisibles as possible into visibles,
   without arriving at the agency at the final
   level, and to extract as many simulacra as
   possible from the database."
