It ain't the cheery future described by Extremely Online (although even that book mentions the ugly but not enough, not by far).
Not, it's the future of platform decay (to use a more polite word for enshittification) and Stop Talking to Each Other and Start Buying Things https://catvalente.substack.com/p/stop-talking-to-each-other...
To be closer to topic , let me quote Paris Marx's excellent summary from his Apple Vision Pro preview https://disconnect.blog/apples-vision-pro-headset-deserves/
> Tech companies want us isolated and constantly staring at screens because it drives profit
and of course
> The Vision Pro lets users further separate themselves from their surroundings and even create “digital personas” for video calls so other people are talking to a digital, abstracted version of themselves instead of seeing the real person.
Even The Verge acknowledges:
> using the Vision Pro is such a lonely experience, regardless of the weird ghost eyes on the front.
Oh yes, I have my eyes on the future and I am bloody unhappy about it.
