Just starting Doppelgänger from @naomiaklein and already this gem about why things feel so weird: “It's because our world has changed, but, like a collective case of jet lag, most of us are still attuned to the rhythms and habits of the place left behind.”
@davidho @naomiaklein It's such a great book. Extremely insightful, pulls no punches. One of the best guides to our present dilemma I've read.
@davidho Klein’s book rewires your brain while you’ re reading it. The best books always do, that’s what reading is for, but Klein’s grapples with the huge transformation taking place now. In her case the personal story around Wolf is a perfect mirror of a felt displacement.
> 'future shock' as an analogy to the concept of culture shock. With future shock you stay in one place but your own culture changes so rapidly that it has the same disorienting effect as going to another culture"
@davidho
It’s next in my cue.
@davidho @naomiaklein@bird.makeup I have this lined up. Just dipping in I can tell it will be a great read.
