George coins the term ‘holomelancholia’ to describe ‘the inevitable disappointment of virtual worlds.’ ‘Mark my words,’ he adds. ‘It’ll be in the DSM by 2021.’ It’s a neat turn: Shakar questions the possibility that we can be happy with a truth we know we have invented, while tweaking the medical materialism that would place this ‘inevitable disappointment’ in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.” – The New York Times Book Review on Luminarium by Alex Shakar Amazing, amazing book, highly recommended. alexshakar/books/luminarium
