It’s literally all like this
The first time someone says "Can we connect" while we are conversing, l am confused — aren't we connecting now? — but eventually I come to know one connects by bumping iPhones together such that the other person's picture appears and you are digitally tethered, your meeting logged, the conversation transferred into a kind of achievement from which value might be later extracted, which is, for a journalist, a very familiar approach to conversation. Despite the general mania for connecting, the hacker houses don't interact all that much. "We're trying to work on kind of like better coordination mechanisms, a better social layer for all of the houses to like come together," Pat tells me at the Tower. He organized a hot pot, and a week later another hacker house hosted its own hot pot. The houses organize games, "a hacker-house Olympics," with "weird like side games": a Taser knife fight and a "hard-drive huck" where you're meant to throw a hard drive as far as possible, though Pat changed it to a "cucumber huck" when they couldn't clear enough space at the park to safely throw hard drives.

The last book was the most "tell don't show" shit I've ever read in a novel. I wanted to blow my brains out reading it

Do you think I should read the book before I watch the Fassbinder series? Or does it not matter?
