I know in my heart that anytime they talk about “vintage” consoles without naming what they are that they could be ps5’s and switch 2’s (I know this was written in 2011 when those didn’t exist yet but my assumption is that the author intended for someone to read this for the first time in the future and be as gobsmacked as me)

I’m at the point where I’m fully not understanding like 80% of the sentence’s because they’re taking about so much technology/computer stuff but I’m still having a great time so it’s fine.

I like I like this book a lot. It’s doing wonders for my reading slump but the fact that it takes place less than 20 years in the future and they’re taking about things that are affecting the world now basically the same way they are in the book is crazy. Also the way humanity is so dependent on technology is scaring me. Like this could genuinely happen to us.

The part about the cars piled up all being perfectly fine when they were left but they were abandoned by their owners because they could no longer afford the gas prices is INSANE actually. That TOOK ME OUT.
