  1. Lese (erstmals seit sehr langer Zeit) wieder „Microserfs“ des verehrungswürdigen Douglas Coupland. Sehr komisch und berührend, sehr early-90s und pre-Windows 95, als die Welt noch verheißungsvoll aussah und Facebook & Co. in weiter Ferne lagen. Lt. coupland.com/ hat C. leider keinen Fediverse-Account - schade.

    "Time ticks by; we grow older. Before we know it, too much time has passed and we've missed the chance to have had other people hurt us. To a younger me this sounded like luck; to an older me this sounds like a quiet tragedy."
    Douglas Coupland

    ("My Hotel Year", in: Life After God, 1994, page 62)

  5. #PhantastikPrompts ~ One of your minor characters transforms into an animal and accompanies your protas everywhere. Who and what animal is it?

    In a flash fiction, the SC is Poseidon.

    To quote Douglas Coupland ~
    “Q: If you could be an animal, what kind of animal would you be?
    A: You already are an animal.”

  27. A book from 1992 has no right to be so zeitgeisty, but there's a line in Coupland's Shampoo Planet that keeps zipping ahead: "Technology favors horrible people."

  44. Der großartige #DouglasCoupland — von dem ich seltsamerweise schon laaang nix mehr richtig gelesen habe — schenkte mir schöne Doppelfrage, mit der man sich selbst ganz schön doll abklopfen kann.
    (Ausm Gedächtnis extendreamixed)

    > 1. Hälfte: Anhand welcher Dinge, Ideen, Praxen, Gewohnheiten ect stehst Du ganz persönlich in einem Verhältnis mit der Zeit vor 400 Jahren; — und 2. Hälfte: und IN 400 Jahren. <

    Kurz: Was für ne Story wirst Du Historikern, Archäologen in 400 Jahren erzählen?
