Of all the things Ballard, I remember the end of his book The Kindness of Women that ends on a film set for Empire of the Sun, his life a simulacrum. That might be how we all end up

There is so much debate on the price of the Steam Machine and Steam Frame!
What’s the point? We’ll know the price eventually. And then that will determine more of how the devices fit in the market.
But Valve’s real play here is distributing Steam on more things

20. Black Hole, by Charles Burns
The characters blended together for me. The art drifted. A book that had been on my shelf for 20 years was full of mystery. Now defined, I wonder if I’d prefer if I hadn’t defined it. Adolescence and alienation and a sense of self as monster. Judgement. Ito-like.

I am completely addicted to Kirby Air Riders. I can share that now. www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...
Kirby Air Riders Is Absolute Chaos, and I Love It That Way
It's not Mario Kart, but this second Switch racer proves its worth with a lot of rapid absurdity.

Will a world of reactions without referents become knitted in the future via AI or will the pieces get lost in time, a bunch of puzzle bits scattered in a pond

This is that feeling.
I’m having that thing where you log on to social and everyone is reacting to the new thing but the reactions are vague, aghast, angry enough that you’re struggling to figure out exactly what the new thing is. German must have a word for this.
