If you didn’t get the first printing, and you like comics, I strongly suggest you go buy a copy.
That is all.
The eagerly awaited SVK by BERG, Warren Ellis and Matt Brooker is a comic that lets you read the character’s minds with the SVK Object - a black light torch.
“It’s a story about cities, technology and surveillance, mixed with human themes of the power, corruption and lies that lurk in the data-smog of our near-future.”
You can buy it now.

The journey from Shinagawa to Kansai Airport includes Shinkansen and local trains- with the serving staff laying out the tickets to explain each leg of the journey. There’s a wonderful, process, flow about the proceedings.
With a simple augmentation layer – these tickets could become place markers for enriching, and later recalling the explanation process.
I often do this with index cards. The augmentation layer for explanation recall is something I’ve wanted so long, I refer to it as a pony1.
I still want a pony.

As in, something I have wished for forever, which I will never have, and the reasons for wishing for it have become obscure. ↩
