This is the best thing I've ever read on substack. I still remember reading 1984 on my commute, getting engrossed, not realising the music in my headphones had stopped, and then hearing the "see it, say it, sorted" announcement echoing through my mostly empty station. It was a surreal feeling to seemingly be inside the book I was reading.
