Future in an Uncanny Valley

What in the science of aesthetics tends to be called "Uncanny Valley" is a phenomenon linked to the inner discomfort felt by man in the face of things that seem to have some human semblance, but which in reality are only vaguely close to resembling it. Reasoning through a less circumscribed imaginary version of this phenomenon and the feeling of despondency generated by it, the book in question chooses to group and present a dose of general existential pessimism, reasoning on a human, global, social, and non-human scale. All of this, told through a variegated Cyberpunk aesthetic, which adapts well to the climate of human discomfort that is intended to be encapsulated through the digital manuscript in question.

WARNING

Hi,

I hope this message finds you well.

If you’re reading this, it means I somehow managed to channel

all the negative emotions and thought I’ve collected in these

stressful days and finally made them into a proper semester

project artifact.

I’m sorry for the screensaver cover. I know it may feel misleading,

but the cover was just there in order to gather some interest

around the artifact, not to reflect the actual content beyond

an aesthetics phylosophy thing.

Aside from that, system is currently being restarted, and you’ll

be soon brought back to the initial menu.

Check the available files. Some of those readings might be of

your enjoyment.

Ciao for now.
