Status Updates From Cyberia: Life in the Trench...

Not all that interested in the drug chapter BUT I'm immensely tickled by the fact that I immediately clocked that Rupert Sheldrake is the father of the other Sheldrakes I've heard of (Merlin+Cosmo). What a mushroom-y family.

It's nice to engage with the Internet on a level like this - it feels so far away and unusual that this bit of history almost feels like a retro future of sorts again. I'm reading it in German so the translation also does it's darndest to make this sound extra over the top and like a "how do you do, fellow kids?" moment. In short: very fun and exactly what I hoped it would be.

simpler times… i am reading all of this (the german edition, i might add) in the tone of overly dramatic teen video programming of the times.

The Internet was built for love, not profit.
