“There is no reason why Disney would not take over the human genome… to turn it into a genetic show. In the end, they would cryogenize the entire planet, just like Walt Disney himself…for some kind of resurrection in the real world. But there is no real world anymore, not even for Walt Disney. If one day he wakes up, he’ll no doubt have the biggest surprise of his life.
If this operation can be so successful in creating a universal fascination with only a tint of moral disapproval, it is because reality itself, the world itself, with its frenzy of cloning has already been transformed into an interactive performance, some kind of [Disneyland] for ideologies, technologies, works, knowledge, death, and even destruction. All this is likely to be cloned and resurrected in a juvenile museum of Imagination or a virtual museum of Information.”
— Jean Baudrillard, 1996
