there is (as far as i've been able to find, anyway) a surprisingly short list of art of any kind that seriously grapples with the experience of being online and i like Gamer for that reason alone

hard to take terry crews seriously as a bloodthirsty psychopath after seeing him on brooklyn nine-nine. i bet he had a lot more fun playing president camacho in idiocracy than this guy. wonder what he thinks of this role now

Any you'd recommend from your short list? For me Serial Experiments Lain comes to mind
