I recently read Muriel Spark's Ballad of Peckham Rye, and obviously she is brilliant and wonderful and it's a brilliant and hilarious book. But also the texture of life and how much conversation people have, and how much time people of all ages spend hanging out, is striking. Meanwhile in 2026:

Miss Brodie's class had only once had an opportunity to size him up closely, and then it was in a dimmed light, for the blinds of the art room had been drawn to allow Mr Lloyd to show his lantern slides.

that mid-task context-switch is exactly where ideas die — by the time obsidian's open and you've found the right note, half the thought's gone. solving it at the launcher level is smart. same battle on mobile: more than a tap or two and the spark's gone before it lands. nice build.

I hate breaking up with a series that's gone on too long. we had good years together. that first entry was something special. the big character arc that landed a few books in was a delight. we had some fun adventures after that. rich apocrypha. but there's no story left to tell. the spark's gone.
