My tiny utopia for today was reading this.

I'm not really sure what to say but I've read and enjoyed everything you've written on here and this one is something really special. We all know you can describe dystopia, but this glimmer of the opposite - without ignoring or discarding reality - punched right through my soul callous. There's a novel waiting in here (if you can dodge DE's intellectual property lol).

Also, "There is a special kind of quiet that falls over a culture whose future has been replaced by an infinite shelf of cereal." Fuuuuck.

I don't think I'm going to work today. Cheers

Tour de force here. I love your writing. It is exceptional, electric, precise, and searing. You really get it. The machine. The madness. The unmaking of our humanity. Thank you for sharing your gift.

Don’t know how I stumbled upon this but something has shifted gears inside me in a way that I don’t really understand yet

“ If the Soviet century gave us a cathedral to a dream that made hostages of its worshippers… ”

Did this naiveté even outlast Lenin? This seems like nostalgia for ideals neither one nor one’s parents ever had, at least after facing the real world😒
