Book publishing and NFTs the 2022 flex. Very different than the shibboleth of Pirate Bay. https://twitter.com/teemusphoto/status/1485869677150621696

Started watching Severance last night. Immediately reached for my copy of @jeffvandermeer's Southern Reach Trilogy, specifically book two, Authority. And also the video game CONTROL. Prob the best game narratives I've played Pretty clear line: Authority -> CONTROL -> Severance.

The recent plagiarism discourse got me thinking about David Shields' Reality Hunger, how much I love that book. Even did an interview with David back in the BOTR days about this book. It lead me to this excellent review by @jamiattenberg. https://www.bookforum.com/print/1605/david-shields-makes-a-case-against-the-seduction-of-fiction-5006

Jeanette Winterson

@nathandueck I believe that Jeanette Winterson wrote something like “the world has been hemmed in by posts.” Art Objects. Beautiful book that should be in every library. Pub’s early-mid 90’s?
