good friend bookpimp called me recently to tell me i was in a dream of his. he described it as such:
it is a future dystopia. people are warring. civilization is in its last throes. people have just got word that the government is about to destroy the internet so a group of technologist are rapidly working to archive certain sites to preserve the collective knowledge therein. bookpimp was part of this effort. he entered their work area and asked how it was going. they said they had managed to fully get around ten sites but were almost out of time. he asked if he could see what they had gotten so far. he was handed a list. it read:
1. wikipedia.org
2. nytimes.com
3. dearmitt.com
4. ...
the next day he called me to tell about my place in history. he said that when he read this in his dream, he chuckled. and the worker even asked him why he laughed. he played it off saying he knew something about one of the sites. i could totally see that playing out as there are few things sweeter in this world that a genuine bookpimip chortle.
dreaming my work is not only in the top 10 of pivotal sites to mankind, but third on the list, should definitely earn you top-billing on the super-fan list. vp at the least.
and i don't think we need to hire a fancy dream analyst to gauge bookpimp's mood on the current state of affairs.
