【Digital】The Future is Useless Zine Xiaozhi digital digital version

20p black and white **written in front** It should be when I was in high school, I accidentally saw a report about the book White Noise in the newspaper. Later, when I had the opportunity to see this book, I was completely misled by the text introducing the book on the back cover, because I later learned that those from the content The text extracted from the book is too narrow, and it does not express what the book really wants to express at all. Anyway I finally finished the book and couldn't get over the shock and re-read it many times since. It's hard to explain why I was shocked, not because I was woken up or something, but what the author thought seemed to be connected to my brain (of course, it may be because the tone of the narrative is so relaxed, and the content is closely related to daily life) , I kept trying to persuade other people to read this book together, but when I found that those people didn't feel or react at all even when they saw the disasters, poisons, environment and people's mental state problems on the news, (these things , nothing special, no fuss. They say). I think maybe the book doesn't mean much to them, it's like, like my ten-year-old cousin thinks the existence of electricity is natural, inexhaustible, because to him, he used to The present and the past have been spent, as long as you press the light switch, it will light up, so it will also light up when you press the switch in the future. I feel like the shit from an episode of South Park trying to save a whale, he said: It seems like everyone has an attitude of "that's just the way they are" or "that's just the way it is"! Nobody likes it, but everybody's too busy to do anything about it! **About "The future is useless"** The title of this book is "The Future is Useless" for two reasons. One is that I think that some fictional events of White Noise (perhaps many science fiction movies of the same period) may be the author's speculation about what will happen in the future. The so-called future, relative to them Can be generally referred to as the 21st century. Compared with the real 21st century (now), the fictional 21st century is a little bit the same and a little bit different (Peter Su upper body), in short, I think it's a bit bad. I don't know if the consciousness of many people has been living in the state of 1990, 2000 (or even before), whether it is related to the unwillingness to face the useless future (that is, the present). The second is that when I went to an exhibition in Tainan, I met a friend on Facebook: Liu, when she saw me, she seemed to forget the name "past x future is useless", and she said that you are the future useless? The future is useless, very good, really useless, I want to use it as the title of the book! That's it. There are some differences from previous works. This book mainly uses small pictures of my essays and extracts some books, movies, and songs to strengthen readers' impressions of people in different eras actually wanting to describe the same thing and their views on the future. I don't read many books, so please forgive me if there are any naive and self-indulgent points. This book is also accompanied by illustrations drawn from photos solicited from readers in the previous study of daily life materials. Thank you for your assistance. Detailed information on all the books and sources cited in this book can be found on the last page, which is strongly recommended. (But I guess you're exhausted during your off hours? Think how much you've sacrificed yourself for society and the world, not if you don't like or can't read books.)
