“It is forbidden to unplug yourself, and not only in active, interactive social life, but also on your deathbed: it is forbidden to tear out the tubes, even if you want to. And this is not criminal because it is an attempt on your own life — who cares about that? — but because it is an attempt on the life of medicine, and of high technology, which must ensure their own survival first. The network principle carries with it the absolute moral obligation to remain plugged in.”

— Jean Baudrillard, Cool Memories
