The book probably comes after they get into it via memes, Twitter and podcasts.

When I went to the movie theatre the other day you couldnt order food at the concession stands. There were people behind the counter as usual, but when you went up to place an order they said you had to go to an electronic kiosk. And these are movie concessions, its all already made, most of it is candy in a box I just need someone to hand it to me, but whatever. I go to the electronic kiosk and you have to sign in---to get pop corn and candy you have to sign in. I didnt have an account so I logged in as a guest. I take my receipt over to the stand but the machine malfunctioned I guess so they tell me i have to go hunt down some manager so he can reprint the right receipt. I then do that and take the correct receipt over to the concession stand. But the thing is the receipt is just my order printed out, its not like they get electronic orders in on a screen and assemble your stuff before you get there, they just read whats on the paper you yourself give them and then they go get it, as if you had just walked up and told them your order in the first place.
The whole ordeal took ten minutes. I got a popcorn and an I-cee, whicwash I poured myself
It's really really insanewhole ritual of chasing someone down to give you a check is the worst part of dining in the US, absolutely uncivilized, absolutely hate it. The way it works here is, you flag down a waiter, ask for the check. five minutes later, they give you the check. you put your card into the little envelope. five minutes later, they take your card. they run it there, and then five minutes later they give you the receipt, which you have to sign and tip on. by this point your legs are cramping because you've been in the same place for so long.
they have systems like this in san francisco too except they're VC funded at great expense and so they actually work, or at least they do now. I imagine they'll stop working in a few years. i think there's a great joy in going to a restaurant that turns tables quickly, keeps you on your toes, there's a ramen place I go to where you sit down and order on your phone and then they have your food at your table in five minutes. since you paid up front you can just leave when you're ready.

As online worlds increasingly infuse or supplant analog realities... While climate change threatens to collapse global ecosystems and unravel the fabric of civilization, we paper desktops with uncannily-idyllic Caribbean beaches and rolling mountain ranges... I hope to subvert digital escape by injecting anthropogenic detritus into online spaces...
