The latest issue of The Brooklyn Rail finds James Reich in conversation with writer, publisher, and researcher D. Harlan Wilson. The two writers, who have known each other for several years now, discuss the perils of A.I. and the nature of ‘reality,’ God and Devil, Oscar Wilde, surrealism, literary style, and a host of other issues. As Reich says:
“Under these conditions, attempts to “grasp reality” result in neon fistfuls of neurosis, and AI is here to make everything worse. “Reality,” if that means freedom from falsification, is something like an underground subculture at this point. We have made falsification our reality.”
