maybe because English is my third language, but i always loathed the scanner darkly title. so empty and try-hard.

  It’s a reference to a biblical passage. 1 Corinthians 13:12, "For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then we shall see face to face". There wasn’t any clear glass back in Paul’s day. Looking through glass meant that your vision was obscured.

    It's the "scanner" that I had a problem with. A device to turn printed media into PDFs... but darkly?

      The scanner is the surveillance state watching your day to day life.
