Estuve leyendo La tierra elegida, un libro de ensayos de Juan Forn del 2017. Los textos habían salido originalmente en Radar de Página/12, es decir que son anteriores a las contratapas de Yo recordaré por ustedes. Pertenecen al mismo género, el género Forn, pero a una serie distinta. Me interesa compararlas, ver en qué difieren y en qué se parecen, qué es esencia y qué accidente en la literatura de Forn.| olano.dev

To me, a classic JRPG is pure mechanism, a kind of puzzle. Was there some way of getting the fun out of building such a mechanism—of solving that puzzle—, wrapping it with the minimal amount of functionality, the simplest thing that could possibly pass as a video game?| olano.dev
Between the '70s and the '90s a lot of the action happened in newsletters and magazines like The Whole Earth Catalog, Byte, or Dr. Dobb's. An anthology of articles from those magazines would tell a compelling history of personal computing: that's a book I'd like to read.| olano.dev
The fact that we can’t remove essential complexity with a software redesign doesn’t mean that there’s nothing we can do about it. What if the problem definition wasn’t outside of our purview? What if we could get the world to conform to the software, and not just the other way around?| olano.dev
