I enjoyed reading this essay, thanks for writing Nadia. It made me check out your working notes.
"I just find myself wanting…something, some deeper level of dialogue, that seemed to exist throughout the entire 20th century and then mysteriously disappeared in the 21st", this section caught my eye because I also want to have a deeper level of dialogue about the internet too. Have you written about it elsewhere? or better, what other thoughts do you have on it.
Thanks! I haven't written much else about it, but I'm still looking for that dialogue too :) The Dark Forest Collective (https://darkforest.metalabel.com/) is a nice body of work in that direction. And I think you could argue that a lot of internet-first subcultures are an attempt to grapple with online culture, but sometimes they feel more zoomed in than what I'm looking for. I may convince myself to tackle a bigger project I've had brewing in this realm...haven't decided yet.

You should do it.
Thanks for sharing dark forest.
