Thinking about the present as if it were the past

August 27, 2016

Chuck Klosterman has written an interesting (sounding) book:

… the book explores how (and why) societies in 100 or 300 or 1,000 years might hold radically altered memories of the literature, entertainment, science, and politics of the early 21st century, contradicting the way those concepts are considered in the present. The following excerpt visualizes how television will be remembered in a distant future when TV no longer exists.

The Ringer posted an excerpt focused on how television will be remembered. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that the way of life that we’ve all grown up with is a historical aberration. Our reality is a hiccup in time.

This is a rebellion. I rebel.

I don’t need to link to the trailer for Rogue One. If you’re interested, you’ve seen it by now.

The tone stands out from anything else in the series, the intensity, the grit, the female lead.

Imagine some dude in the lead role. It becomes a lot less interesting.
