Sometimes I go for a while without reading any books and I can feel the difference in myself. Yet, I spend almost all my waking life reading text. I think the difference is that this is all just information.
There is profound loneliness in only reading information, I compare it to the flattening of human interaction to zoom calls in the pandemic. Practical, but qualitatively worse.
The culture that produced the novel as its primary information artifact is gone forever, tragic that our cultures artifacts do reach its heights.
