Besides being a beautiful phrase “membranous labyrinth” refers to the inner ear. To me, it could describe the multi-dimensional, physological space otherwise called the internet.

Semi-see-through webs that trap humans used to be sci-fi horror scenes where B-grade actors struggle through other worldly membranous labyrinth. Sticky like a cobweb, all consuming as a carnivorous plant. Our hero dashes with desperation across diaphanous quick-sand on a distant planet.

TODAY, the fear of being forever trapped in an all-consuming web is real.
