There is this one old school sci fy story where all of humanity just lives in their room and they all just share and prepare lectures about the things they enjoy and literally never leave their rooms. Everything is run by a machine. Nobody ever leaves their room they’re just constantly preparing lectures on various subjects or watching other people’s lectures. I sadly can’t remember what it’s called . It’s good and kinda the direction that the world is going it
I read it. Oh my... to think this is from 1909 if I understood correctly. The bit about "beware of first-hand ideas" at the end chilled me to the bone, it was so "the times we live in".
Yeah I read it a year ago and there have been a lot of joints and booze in that time to make my memory fuzzy but I did autistically tell every one about it and how they should read it.
I also want to read that because I kinda see civilisation as a curse as well.
But ya so much stuff to read and my focus is just getting worse and worse as I grow older. Plus if you have an inquisitive mind you’ll probably end up having similar thoughts to other people as well.
