A serious Drow tells a horror story for writers of lost manuscripts and destroyed spreadsheets. Even his bloody bunny slippers trembled to hear the tale!
My current reading matter - a nostalgic look back at the halcyon days of 1992, sitting on a 1999 ThinkPad. I have the impression that, back then, it was assumed that the internet we have now - primarily text, text and pictures, some video - would be a very short-lived transitory step towards the *real* future of cyberspace, but of course it didn't turn out that way.
It's surprisingly acidic. The author essentially dismisses the VR "boom" in the first chapter, arguing that it was a lot of hype put out by a clique of self-congratulatory, occasionally well-meaning, but generally untrustworthy hucksters. The rest of the book veers off into a wide-ranging collection of essays on the more esoteric elements of 1990s-era internet futurism - hypertext, artificial intelligence, reality. He generally avoids talking about the technology. Hypertext would lead to the death of the author, because you could make your own media, and I suppose in a way this has happened. Some of it is spot-on (I spotted Google News in there), some of it was never going to happen (Xanadu), some of it might have happened but didn't pan out (Storyspace).
As for the internet - or "Internet" - here it is. Page 125. The book's only paragraph about it. There's mention of smart television later on, which covers some of the same ground, but there you go. Again, it's not that the author wasn't aware of it, he had his mind on other things, and the network was just a means to an end. The book tends to concentrate on academic projects rather than practical real-world business opportunities, which is another thing that dates it.
Looking back it seems that the internet took off and became so ubiquitous so quickly that there was never a next generation of internet pontificators - the big pop-intellectual publishing phenomena of the late 1990s, 2000s were books about economics, advertising, culture etc; the internet itself became (perhaps rightly) merely a medium. The names in Virtual Worlds - Timothy Leary, Ted Nelson, Jaron Lanier, Nicholas Negroponte - are nowadays either dead or trapped in academia or yesterday's men or (in the case of Negroponte) they will live to see their dreams die; or we will live to see that their dreams were a sham.

I attempted to video a section of the one game I have bought for the Oculus Quest - Elven Assassin - at least this way I can use my archery without harming my elbow bursitis :-)
Unfortunately I was out of frame for most of it plus the sound on the TV is about 5 seconds out of synch with the actual game play as I am seeing it in the headset. The graphics are much more impressive in the headset as it is 360 degree and much higher resolution than in this video which I further reduced to reduce load times.
A lot of the games i have looked at are just of no appeal but this is old school and I quite enjoy it. Plus I get to move more than when playing on the computer or iphone
Spin Cycle 8.5 refers to Federico Fellini’s film, 8.5, or 8 and a half. The title of my video also refers to spin cycling, a kind of exercising now popular in the U.S. A Spin Cycle differs from the earlier Exercycle in that the main wheel is weighted. Mine weighs 41 lbs.
Spin Cycle 8.5 also refers, somewhat obliquely, to the spin cycle on my clothes dryer.
For the best results, play my video in your VR Headset.

Someone, having given in to the temptations of the pretty lady with the VW bus, wakes to find himself in DEEP trouble.
(I've been informed that my assets are particularly distracting in this one. No idea why!)
