- In the beginning no one believes the internet is coming
- Old dudes like the maesters dismiss that the internet is coming because they’re too stuck in their ways (work in legacy media)
- Tiny, potentially disruptive start-ups (or “dragons”) aren’t regarded as a threat because they’re too small and no one believes they exist (can make money online)
- The people warning that the internet is coming are all millennials
- So naturally they’re the disruptive heroes of GOT
- The Night King – leader of the white walkers and its key social media influencer – is created by forest millennials
- Signs that the internet is still coming are dismissed as Gen X/boomer kings and queens squabble among each other, unable to present a united defence (find a way to “monetise” the net)
- The army of the internet grows exponentially, its users becoming mindless zombies
- By the time the “dragons” have grown up and ravaged the music, newspaper, entertainment and consumer industries, it’s too late to stop them
- The internet arrives and everyone loses their mindsMy new thriller Game Of Killers: The Spartan is out now as an ebook and paperback.
