I think sometimes about how virtual reality, if or when it arrives, won’t be something we log into or turn off and on. It’ll be more like the a blended version of the Matrix, wherein a factual thing actually happens but then almost immediately narrativizes so that our experiences of it are mediated, shaped, guided, prescribed.

Narrative planes taking off from the airstrip of reality, we’re all 10,000 feet up without really thinking about it
