Usually not and I always found it weird. In the rare occasion a smartphone appears in a dream it's always impossible to use, like nothing works correctly. I actually had a dream today where I was lost and Google Maps was giving some very bad instructions.
Strangely enough I don't think I've ever dreamt of a computer even though most of my day is spent in front of one.
Where is console.log()?
I know I shouldn't but I laughed. Thanks, I'll now keep thinking about this every time a kid says they want a cute hamster.
What the others said, animals aren't "evil". But I'm curious now, what did hamsters do?
Rainbolt has a couple of videos playing against AI. I don't remember what they said it was trained on but it's possible it was based on that.
Yeah the second book was probably more disturbing, then the third went a bit off the rails. I should probably reread them at some point. I don't remember what happened to Control but the Psychologist's ending was pretty disturbing too.
This was a wild read
I'd like to add the sloth bear to your list
Not sure if I'd call Area X fucked up but if you liked it definitely take a look at Borne (same author). It mixes the weirdness of area x with bioengineering and much more relatable characters.
I looked it up again when writing this comment and even though most reviews are negative they do make it sound pretty interesting. I've put it in a maaaybe list.
If you've come across the short story Guts at some point, it's apparently part of the book Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. I haven't read the whole book so not sure what the other stories are like but this story is really trying to be both gross and fucked up.
That's pretty cool tbh
