That’s not to say that the writing isn’t good, with clean sentences and well-developed characters. It's sad that this novella can be picked up, read, and shrugged off as old news. The internet has changed how we think, the internet’s normal has become our normal.
As it stands, in 2022, we are all too aware that our brains are desensitised, and that is no longer a surprise. This new idea of our brains being numbed by the internet was fresh and horrifying, but we struggled through it (by consuming more content). Back then, we, as a society, were shocked by the idea of being desensitised.
If published a few years ago, it would have more impact, provoke more thought. The thing about this novella, though, is that it feels somewhat out-of-date.
