Book review: 21st-Century Yokel by Tom Cox
Rating: 4 out of 5
My first Tom Cox book. Won’t be my last. I enjoyed it, it made me laugh in places and wonder in others.
Highlighted passage:
the internet knows that humans like to share stuff, and that sharing stuff often comes form a kind place and carries the promise of bringing us all closer to it gets us all addicted to the process, but leaves us ultimately emptier as a result, hovering in a state of non-presentness getting nostalgic for stuff that happened barely any time ago that we didn’t even take the time to properly absorb when it did happen, skimming across everything, not quite fully experiencing any of it
