Dear Gong,
WCTIFY got gonged. Remember Chuck Barris? Here's Rockefeller's iron fist in a velvet glove.

This experimental offering from the Gongster was one of those rare caps I read mostly without skimming, and somehow managed to find interesting without having a clue what was going on or what it was about. I think in the end it was all a VR, a game of some sort. Not that this reality, whatever it is, isn't. The title, We Can Think it for You, says it all. And of course we can, especially once you can't think for yourself. We're pretty much there already. Decided to try not wearing a mask out grocery shopping the last couple days. Support the truckers, and all. Depending where you're from, this might not sound like much. But here I didn't see a single other un-diapered face. No one said anything to me, which was a little surprising. Although Zehrs' PA system lady (who's not near as happy sounding as the Giant Tiger PA lady, who just gurgles with delight) did start reminding "shoppers" that everyone has to have their face covered. Though maybe I was just paranoid. But anyway, it's pretty clear someone else is doing our thinking for us. So today I wore a face shield.
Amazed that VCs can't be bothered to paste their work into a google doc, or even just gmail, for a quick and easy edit. You can hate Alphabet (Google) for their monopoly on truth, but their software is great. But even without which I saw a bunch of little nits like,
His entire body sasms uncontrollably
spasms
then I cross them off by one according to my criteria;
one by one
I breath out slowly
breathe
I see how civi...
Just ends?
a high school prank in school.
redundant
...lised we are.
Okay, I get it. This continues where the text was cut off earlier. Very clever.
If it weren't for the typos, I think I'd have sent this up. There's some cool tech. Some nice pacing. And my not totally following could be a plus. Made me think of Gibson's world building. But if you're going to wax all experimental and confusing, you have to be technically polished. Still... close call. But I think my Terminal colleagues are too busy to be fed anything even this raw. But I would kind of like to hear their thoughts on it. But no. Hope the VC's not too disappointed. I'll think them happy thoughts.
