How is it Kafkaesque?
- lisper 8y agoI'm not quite sure how to explain it if it is not self-evident. The defining characteristic of Kafka's work was situations where the protagonist has to struggle against powers that are both unseen and overwhelming. So here we have Microsoft, one of the world's most powerful corporations, saying "You can trust us because if we were not trustworthy you would abandon us and flee to the competition." Except that there is no competition because Microsoft has destroyed it all. That reminds me of Kafka. YMMV.
