Re: <nettime> Shame of going against the tribe

[John Young <jya@pipeline.com>]

Spate of articles on diminishing addiction to digitalization, with 
quite a few, maybe most, suggest reading a book! Motherhood, apple pie!

Heads down for that venerable opioid is hustled as gloriously 
educative no matter political bias, gender, age, race, ethnicity.

Ink gods good, pixel giants evil.

Amazon, well, who dares fuck with that monstrous river of verminous 
sludge piling cardboard junk into building lobbies and university 
receiving docks, worse downloading Kindle turds to handheld johns.

What's a book, iChild texts. iChief moderates, hush, wait for 2-factor code.
