Every von Dave Eggers angesichts von ChatGPT & Co gelesen

Every von Dave Eggers angesichts von ChatGPT & Co gelesen: Manchmal sehr langatmig, aber auch ein Buch, das man gerade jetzt sehr gut lesen kann und vielleicht sogar sollte

Die vergangenen Tage habe ich Every von Dave Eggers gehört. Es geht um den Technologiekonzern, der mit Eyetrackern, Smart Home-Lautsprechen und viele immer absurdere Apps die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner immer mehr manipuliert – und kontrolliert. Oft merken diese es gar nicht. Meist wollen diese es gar nicht anders, so die Kernaussage des Buches. Auch wenn die Protagonistin durch immer abartigere…

re: your kym 2 commentary post

1) in canon, Eridan and Feferi dropped their typing quirks when they "broke up"

2) that post blasted me with the mental image of Dave Egg going to meet up with his Super Cool Girlfriend only to end up getting assfucked by her Bro. Think of like... most BroJohn fics, except if Dave was more of an active participant/getting off on it.

-anonchum

AHA knew i forgot something, thank you!!

2. ok tho there was this one time where i rp'd bro/ro-stri/daveegg before and the scenario was bro convincing rose to let him call dave as a laugh and later forcing him to listen to his gf getting fucked over the phone while they talked dirty about it. like i loooooooove thinking about brojohn scenarios but with dave eggy instead, especially because of that instant cognitive dissonance rose would go through where she's immediately siding with her brother no matter what he puts dave through. definitely one of those dynamics where she's willing to talk shit about him in private but in public she's always helping him and hyping him up and dave is just left to fend for himself 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 i love it i LOVE ITTTT

Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.

La mayoría de la gente quiere. La mayoría de la gente cambiaría todo lo que sabe y todo el mundo a quien conoce por el mero hecho de saber que han sido vistos y reconocidos y que tal vez incluso serán recordados. Todos sabemos que nos moriremos. Todos sabemos que el mundo es demasiado grande como para que seamos todos importantes. De manera que lo único que nos queda es la esperanza de que los demás nos vean, o nos oigan, aunque sea un momento.

Dave Eggers - The Every

After the company “The Circle” took over the Internet, it bought an online retailer named after a south American jungle to also operate online buying and selling. With the new name “The Every”, Mae Holland can now control large parts of the people’s every-day life. Delaney Wells has done a lot to become a part of The Every, yet not out of fascination for the company but because she is seeking revenge. The company is too strong to be attacked from the outside, she needs to get inside to destroy it. Together with her roommate Wes, she develops a strategy: making more and more absurd suggestions for apps so that people see what the company is really after. However, their idea does not work, instead of being repelled, people eagerly embrace the new ideas which limit their lives increasingly.

 I was fascinated by Dave Egger’s novel “The Circle” a couple of years ago. “The Every”, the second instalment, shows the mission to destroy what he has created. Delaney Wells is a clever and courageous protagonist who consistently follows her goal. Yet, the novel could not fully meet my expectations, it was a bit lengthy at times and the developments were quite foreseeable.

 Delaney’s strategy of proposing ever more absurd apps to control people – which words they use, rating their interaction with others and their capacity of being a “friend” – push the development further and further. The line of argumentation that The Every uses is quite convincing: who wouldn’t prefer to live in a safe place where people use words which do not create bad feelings in others, who wouldn’t like to be a better person and most of all, who wouldn’t be willing to abstain from harming behaviour to protect nature?

 Eggers just goes one step further and shows how the characters fall prey to the traps which actually are quite obvious. However, this is what they want since it makes life easier. They do not have to make decisions anymore, everything is foreseeable and in good order. Thinking for yourself is exhausting, so why not hand it over do the company? Even though this aspect is well established, I could have done with less apps, the twentieth invention does not add any new aspect to the plot.

 A small group of anarchists tries to resist, yet they are too weak and the intellectuals are not heard. Wes’ development throughout the plot, unfortunately, is also very predictable, I would have preferred some surprises here. Eggers certainly can to better than just use well-known set pieces.

 The idea is great and the protagonist is well-created but the author could have made more out of it. Some scenes �� Delaney’s trip to the ocean and the aftermaths – are brilliant as is the line of argumentation that the company uses to manipulate. Yet, it is a bit lengthy and unoriginal in its progress.

I don’t hold on to anything anymore. Pain comes at me and I take it, chew it for a few minutes, and spit it back out. It’s just not my thing anymore.

📖📖September TBR📖📖 📚 📚 📚 QOTD: Do you get intimidated by lengthy books? 📚 📚 I do. I don’t know why. Many of the best books I’ve read have been pretty long. Maybe it’s just the amount of time it takes to get through one. Lol 📚 📚 American Gods is a lengthy book I’ve been putting off for quite some time. @neilhimself became a favorite author of mine earlier this year, so I’m determined to pick it up this month 😊 📚 📚 I had to completely change my TBR because I read The Fellowship of the Ring for my Bookclub and now I have to finish the series 😂 📚 📚 I’ve also decided to start my reread of The Mortal Instruments this month. I’m hoping to get further than the first book, but we shall see 🙃 📚 #bookstagram #biblophile #bookworm #booklover #tbr #books #read #neilgaiman #daveeggers #cassandraclare #jrrtolkien #americangods #thecircle #cityofbones #themortalinstruments #thelordoftherings #thefellowshipofthering #thetwotowers #thereturnoftheking (at Rancho Cordova, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnUPNDiFtgj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ywgunz1yn8jp
