Trick Mirror

It's a really interesting point and it reminds me of there's a sex worker character in the story called Zari who does OnlyFans work and she talks about the fact that she makes 5k a week but can't orgasm anymore because it's having a voyeuristic lens in the most intimate parts of your sexual and personal life.

those lines become really blurred and there's, there's this incredible quote by Gia Tolentino, who's an incredible writer who wrote a book called Trick Mirror.

And the quote is, um, I might butcher it, but the only land left for capitalism to cultivate is the self.

And it's sort of this ever encroaching line of what is for sale and what is to be monetized or offered up to the like altar of public consumption or to the algorithm, whatever.

We're already seeing a pattern, so maybe they're not [laughs] that different.

Um, but then one of them is like Jia Tolentino's Trick Mirror and School of Life about emotional maturity, right? Some of them are very like deeply reflective.

Some of them are like weird alternative fiction.

Some of them are memoirs.
