Exploring the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the author draws parallels between the destruction of the Twin Towers and the death of Don Quixote, creating a symbolic interpretation of significant historical moments. The essay emphasizes imperial politics and the evolution of communication technology, influenced by Marshall McLuhan's concept of "technological extension." It posits that each technological advancement brings profound cultural shifts and new worldviews, inviting readers to discover a multitude of symbolic transformations akin to those found in Joyce's work.
