• on All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace by Richard Brautigan, on May 19

  I think this has to be sardonic. He's not talking about utopia, he's talking about Big Brother. Nature and technology are two contrasting ideals. One succeeds at the other's expense. So, I figure when he's describing them as joined peacefully, especially in such an uncharacteristically maudlin fashion, he's doing so with a half-grin and the knowledge that such a future could never exist. Being seen as kin to wild animals is not a good thing in Brautigan's view, nor is being watched over by "loving" machines, a.k.a. the powers that be.. which is happening, (i.e. the Patriot Act.)
