      Kind of, lol. But you can see the difference in the type of hacking. The objects are only meant to hack your own, private reality. That’s what the picture is meant to address, that aspect of our lives that can’t be translated into external and/or mechanical utility.

      Besides, the issue of energy scarcity that the replies are working off could be fixed or at least minimised through realistic technological and political/economic solutions, with no need for magical objects that defy the laws of physics. But no law or real invention can be guaranteed e.g. to give you good dreams.

        So they induce a kind of psychosis? Ah, sweet. Man-made horrors beyond my comprehension. 😜
