Well, it is not printed... I am not so sure, maybe I just thought it up! ;D But well, that kind of fiction can possibly come out on the studies of imagery. It is quite interesting.
If you want, I can tell you some of the stuff I've been reading that is related. There's Guy Debord's "The Society of the Spectacles", Jean Baudrillard's "Simulation and Simulacra", "The Society of Signs?" by David Harris... re Debord, they have this French movement called the Situationists back in the 60s. You can check out this website called theSpleen, they have a translation of Spectacles on their website.
I am not exactly sure what they teach people in the media since that I am not technically taking up media studies... it's just a huge chunk of my dissertation, and it is funny to know how we live by images these days. I think what they teach in the media is, "Bombard everyone with images, bombard them!!!"
