or, the emptiness
Did you ever read "The Machine Stops" by E.M. Forster? It's an eerily prescient short story to our current predicament. Published in 1908!
Machine Stops is one of my faves.
I haven't read it but I do know about it!
Great piece. None of us have mentally recovered from those years. Even now, so much of what I do feels automated. Maybe that's not so bad, but it does worry me when I stop to think about it.
Loneliness has being going on forever, and no vaccine can stop it. The damage it can wreak is enormous.
