Week 15.2: Jarett Kobek, I Hate the Interent





Reading:
Jarett Kobek, I Hate the Internet, 231-done

Study Questions:
1. If Jack Kirby is the secret "central personage" of I Hate the Internet, then the Russian-emigre novelist and "philosopher" Ayn Rand is perhaps the secret central antagonist of the entire novel.  Is it, like, totally ironic that J. Karacehennem has his John Galt moment at the end of the novel, or is like, the irony, like totally, that I Hate the Internet is just as didactic as Rand's novels? Or is all fiction, in some way, didactic?

2. Am I bad person for asking these questions about the Internet on blogger? Are you a bad person for reading them?
