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.
If you ever remember the name I’d love to read this one. It seems like a very good description of social media today.
Found it for you: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Machine_Stops
It predicts the social media age incredibly well
Thank you!
No problem it’s a quick read as well
