I Hate the Internet by Jarett Kobek
5.0
This is it. This is the darkness laid bare, this is the evisceration of our rotten-boweled reality. Rage, yes, righteous rage but *funny*. If you're going to be filled with righteous rage, you might as well be funny too.
Kobek wrote the brilliant book [b:Atta|12005936|Atta (Intervention #9)|Jarett Kobek|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1444230617s/12005936.jpg|16970592] a few years back. Powerful, brilliant work. Hard to shake. This is better. I'm so honored and glad to have found this book. It feels like freedom, and if it's the freedom of death, of finding out that, yes, we're all already dead, well, that's a freedom of a sort.
Absolutely brilliant, and an instant classic. I just pray, dream, hope that maybe it will someday not apply to our reality. But it's a longshot.
Jarrett Kobek, it's a home run. (A home run is a particular outcome of an "at bat" in the sport called baseball. Sports are a system that provide an illusion of meaning...) I salute you.
I want to post excerpts. But it's all gold. The excerpt is the whole book. Go read the whole book. I just had the typo "go dread the whole book". That applies too. Go. Do it.
