If you haven’t heard about it yet, the youths are super into IRL human interactions, no AI, and “physical media” (vinyl! DVDs! tapes!) right now and it’s glorious. Like there are 20yo influencers that just read old paper books and talk about feelings.

This weekend I gave a presentation to a group of mostly college-aged folks and had a little line at the beginning of my slides that described it as an "AI-free presentation made by a human, for humans" and I had to pause for clapping at that part you love to see it

When I was a kid, I picked up a copy of War and Peace at a library sale for a dime, and the librarian said, "I was wondering who was going to buy that." Weirdly, I still haven't read it...

I read both War and Peace (good read, actually, if awfully Russian) and Infinite Jest (I could see it as more aggravating than enjoyable for some readers, but I liked the linguistic pyrotechnics & ridiculous/genius footnotes enough to read it a second time). I don't recommend 2x for either tho 😅
