Academic book pet peeve:

INTRODUCTION

[here's what I'll cover in the book]

CHAPTER 1
[here's what I'll cover in chapter 1]
[here's what I'll cover in the first half of chapter 1…]
[…and the second half of chapter 1]

What I want to see from WWDC '24: Apple unveils a replacement for Stage Manager in iOS 18.

The new Strange Manager rotates your desktop through a non-euclidean space warped by blasphemous geometries; eldritch transition effects include Transform into Ravens and Fly Away, Eaten by Shoggoths, Tentacles, and The Horror, The Horror.

What are the websites that make reading 10,000+ words a delight?

Hit me up with your best examples of online longform reading experiences! I don't mean NYT-style Snowfall things, I'm more interested in books/blog posts.

Bonus points if they do interesting things with footnotes, links, and all that!

This is research for something I want to build, so individual features from sites are also useful!

@Feltron I love the design, but do they host longform content on the site?

I just went on a 35 minute dark ride at Cosquer Méditerranée, an immersive reproduction of paleolithic caves.

Could this be the longest duration active dark ride in the world? Curious to know other examples! https://blooloop.com/theme-park/news/etf-ride-systems-cosquer/

I've been reading a lot about alternate reality games in academic books recently, and they keep making basic mistakes. Why? https://mssv.net/2024/05/21/why-do-scholars-get-args-so-wrong/

@Edent The short answer is that it varies a lot! I often feel FOMO in Punchdrunk-style immersive theatre too, and it can be frustrating not to get picked for one-on-ones. The hope in those free-form events is that you’ll come across enough interesting stuff to keep you happy despite the FOMO.

When it comes to more organised stuff like the Star Wars hotel, visitors can be tracked and guided to specific interactions with actors and events, basically guaranteeing a level of engagement.
