The language of loss 2.0
via Private Circulation
Private Circulation: a renegade publication meant for 32 lb paper, archived decidedly nowhere save the email boxes of those who have subscribed for free, reminds us that we have, at times, chosen luddite language to articulate the potential of social media. With Philip K. Dick’s estate suing Google for using the name Android, and Apple looking to H.G. Wells for nomenclature, I wonder if linguistic nostalgia is important to making today’s Electric Sheep seem more like dreams come true.
