Today: Ed Park, author, “Same Bed Different Dreams”

• Same Bed Different Dreams, by Ed Park

• Linktree for Ed Park

• About Ed Park

• Welcome to Ed Park’s Many-Layered World (Nov 2, 2023), New York Times review by Hamilton Cain

• July 20, 2020 Techtonic, Ed’s first appearance on Techtonic – discussing reading during a pandemic

• Californian author Ed Park’s wildly ambitious novel of alt-history Korea (LA Times review by Jonathan Russell Clark, Nov 6, 2023)

• Court rules automakers can record and intercept owner text messages (Record.media, Nov 8, 2023)

• Finally: Speaking of “Dreams are everything that’s not online” . . .

“Our cancerous industrialism, reducing all ideological differences to epiphenomena, has generated its own breed of witch doctor. These are men with a genius for control and organization, and the lust to administrate. They propose first to shrink our world to the dimensions of a global village, over which some technological crackpot will erect a geodesic dome to regulate air and light; at the same time the planetary superintendent of schools will feed our children via endless belt into reinforcement-trained boxes where they will be conditioned for their functions in the anthill arcology of the future. The ideal robot, after all, is simply a properly processed human being.”

– Edward Abbey, “Shadows from the Big Woods” (thanks to DJ Irwin Chusid)

Here's what I know about Korean history: they had some amazing hats.

I learned this from a show called Kingdom, a Korean zombie historical drama, which is on an evil streaming service.
