Quotes
- Lera Shapikahas quoted4 years ago
People always think of themselves as playing with the tides, but in the end, they find out that the tides play with them. - Lera Shapikahas quoted4 years agoA naked man logged into an encrypted channel, where an albino alligator with skin covered in tactile sensors wrestled a mechanical octopus in a swamp; the electrical signals from the alligator’s skin were transformed into sexual stimuli injected directly into the man’s cortex. Fifteen thousand co-fetishists were logged into the same channel.
- Lera Shapikahas quoted4 years agoMimi saw even more: the lonesome, the gamblers, the addicted, the innocent . . . hiding in brightly lit or dark corners of the city, worth millions or penniless, enjoying the convenient life brought about by technology, pursuing stimuli and information loads unprecedented in the history of the human race. They were not happy, however; whatever the reason, it seemed that the capacity for joy had degenerated, had been cut off like an appendix, and yet the yearning for happiness persisted stubbornly like wisdom teeth.
