one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer
Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.
It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.
Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:

Ah, this takes me back. I remember the switch from PCI to AGP, realizing the 3d performance of the Voodoo 2 I had obtained a while ago would no longer cut it.
Trying to return the accelerator claiming it was pristine and unused, only to have the sales guy inspect the gold fingers on the PCB, the imprinted slide marks of the feathered PCI contacts clearly visible.
Knowing glances were exchanged, but the trade was accepted, upgrading said artifact in the process.
Seeing how I already stumble through a desolate, barren wasteland, encountering a Voodoo 2 would most likely bring me genuine joy.
