¿Qué pasará con los bitacoreros? ¿A qué se dedicarán? Pues esta historia de ciencia ficción, “Plumage from Pegasus” del gran Paul Di Filippo, responde a la pregunta. Así empieza:
I HAD TO run a few errands downtown, but I hesitated to go.
What if I ran into bloggers?
Ever since the total, irretrievable collapse of the Internet in a chaos of viruses, worms, spam, terrorism and busts by the FBI anti-porn squad, that archaic species of human had become a bigger street menace than mimes, Jehovah’s Witnesses, or panhandlers ever were.
Pero mi párrafo favorito es:
Patting his back, I said, “There, there, Cory, surely you didn’t expect anyone to be truly astonished by this old ragbag assortment of clippings and ephemera. It’s not like the old days, when you could effortlessly ride the bleeding digital edge of culture, shining your spotlight on weird niches before anyone else could get there.”
