‘Glass Bead Game’ is a great reread. For one thing, it’s funny. If you recorded a really good night of net surfing, step by step, would it be an aesthetically pleasing thing in and of itself? A private act these days, of course, done without the consciousness of creating something that someone else might experience. Imagine, say, participating in a market where one could follow another’s path through the net—music, ideas, movies, art, history, religion, you name it. Sort of like one of Joseph Knecht’s glass bead games…
