Ik bezocht de expo 'Data Never Dies' bij IMPAKT en zag overeenkomsten met de nieuwe roman van Marek Šindelka 'Systemen van Tederheid'. Lees hoe dood, rouw en herinnering uitgebuit kunnen worden door techbedrijven. @dasmag.nl @impakt-nl.bsky.social dereflecterendemens.substack.com/p/wat-is-erg...

Wat is erger? De dood of het mechanische voortbestaan?

Over de dood denkt men liever niet na. Het is ongrijpbaar, maar als onderwerp ook nogal een dooddoener (pun intended).
