Stuff and Moonshine

It's bizarre. I mean I guess the author could argue it's an inflated price for originals since we are now so out of touch with yada yada yada, but to just flatly state "we have lost touch with the concept of 'the original' work of art/book" is nuts. It's like what these people are always talking about is access, not the terrible unspecified damage done to the artwork and/or human soul by looking at a copy of copy of a...., and that always gets my back up. I mean what she's talking about is not at all a new phenomenon but the attempt to blame it all on The Digital Age is really a kind of newly infuriating twist.
