A classic, of course. This is Deleuze at his most, ahem, _coherent-_ for me. I’ve always had trouble with his style, although his ideas are fascinating and I’ve used some of them to great success (“Minor Philosophy,” “Nomadology”)

A masterpiece. The ‘dividual’ is becoming more and more popular these days.

The shevelled and gruntled dividual was gusted to find that this text was scrutable.

I agree with your analysis, btw. Fragmented dividuals are either multiplying rapidly, making themselves more known through the new communication regime, or both.
