consciousness

reached the halfway point on my second novel draft

tentatively calling it "Dream Peddlers," it's about a big criminal syndicate stealing dream machine IP from a company and bringing to market first, after which people quickly become dream junkies

then some folks find a strange sequence on it called "Tenebris" and its reception spawns a cult, etc. etc.

Have you seen "Until the End of the World" by Wenders? Claire became addicted to watching her recorded dreams. Also, consider DFW's "Infinite Jest," depicting "The Entertainment" that causes people to watch until they expire. Custom real-time generative video; we might be heading down a dark road.

Great recommendation, thank you! 

I love Wenders but haven't seen 'Until the End of the World' yet. On the other hand, 'Infinite Jest' definitely makes my Top 10 for Best Fiction!
