Feed - M.T. anderson (2002)

"People have told me that Feed is coming true. (Many of the technologies I discussed have been explored in recent years.) But in a sense, I believe it already was the reality when I was writing. I was already dreaming in advertisements." YA (oldstyle YA, not condescending or sanitized) dystopian social media satire. Incredibly fucking sad.

Asimov’s science fiction

when i pulled up to the bar and saw Ethan reading this is I said “what is that?” and then said “what year is this?” Anyway, it’s a cool sci-fi lit mag with coupons and cut-and-mail subscription. Feels very good for fans of PI’s reading group and Left Hand of Darkness in particular. (I read a story about what sexual autonomy means in an age of complex body/mind modification ((which we should all aspire to.))

His Short stories are so delightful and nutritious. thinking about technology and its utility in a practical but also creative way. a great antidote to ai doomerism.

PI.FYI FIELD RECORDING COMPILATION, VOL. I

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones ☺️ Liner Notes: This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner. Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives. The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
