- gumby 10y agoWhat makes it different from reading a book by a dead author? I ask this question genuinely because neither case seems particularly weird to me, but watching a film and realizing that "everyone in this frame is dead" or "everyone who worked on this film in any way is dead" is somewhat creepy to me. The difference is weird. Which is why I ask about what seems creepy to you. Could it be that a web page feels like a dialogue?
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoBecause if you go the the main page, it IS a conversation: He's saying, "I'm DMR, this is where I work, and these are some of the things I've done." The only difference from another personal webpage is sign at the top that tells you that the person who's talking to you is dead. It's a piece that, unlike a book, or the essay proper, wasn't designed to outlive it's author.
