      So last night I finished (after intentionally drawing it out), @Harkaway's _Gnomon_. I do not understand why SF/F is not losing our collective shit about this book. It is astonishing, both as a piece of craft, and as a guide document for the current and coming state of things.

      Yes yes yes yes yes. I have been ranting about it, I saw @lifewinning saying similar things. I know @ahandvanish is almost done. But like, how do you even talk about it? I can manage really dark jokes at best.

      That's a good point. It's hard to not be spoilery. I have considered concocting an entirely fictional metanarrative to convince people to read it because... well. You know.

      The Bach story in that book was just... 😊

      Also an example of its interpenetration with our world. I had started researching Bach fugues as a model for text, and helping my partner with a talk about Escher that was conceptually related, and then I read that passage.

      Ahahaha amazing. Motion to name “Wait, am I still reading fiction or is this my life?” as “That Gnomon Feeling”.

      Already referring to it as such in my internal documents.

      So Doug Hofstadter in a talk a few years ago argued that consciousness emerges as a by-product of looping attention. In that sense, this magical text that forces you as the reader to again and again pay attention to the distinction between it and reality feels very interesting.

      I sometimes think the pitch for this book must have been "What if GEB, but with Surveillance?"
