The Internet Is a Cipher That Makes More Ciphers

What is the internet?
It’s not a thing in space and time
It’s a nothing in timeless cyberspace
You could represent it with–
“The symbol zero denoting the absence of all magnitude or quantity”
 
At the same time outside of time
It is–
“A method of transforming a text
To conceal its meaning
By systematically replacing the letters of the plaintext
By substitutes”
(We call this hypertext)
 
And what does the internet do?
A clue:
Its users become
“One that has no weight, value, or influence”
