Sarà che oggi pubblicare è molto più facile, oppure dipenderà dal fatto che Amazon è una vetrina su un panorama editoriale di dimensioni mondiali. Fatto sta che sembrano esserci un sacco di libri strani lì fuori. In realtà, non lo sappiamo di preciso. Quelli qui sotto, raccolti dal sito Always Judge a Book by its Cover (che ne ha tanti altri) sono stati giudicati, appunto, dalla copertina. Che però lascia intendere quantomeno un approccio originale alla materia: da chi ti vuole insegnare a costruire oggetti carini con il pelo del tuo gatto a quello che ti avvisa che mangiare le persone è sbagliato, c’è n’è davvero per tutti i gusti – o per nessuno. Buona lettura.

Guardo film e gioco a videogiochi, da un certo punto della vita in poi ho iniziato anche a scriverne. Mi affascinano gli angolini sperduti di internet, la grafica dei primi videogiochi in 3D e le immagini che ricadono sotto l’ombrello per nulla definito della dicitura aesthetic, rispetto alle quali porto avanti un’attività di catalogazione compulsiva che ha come punto d’arrivo alcuni profili Instagram. La serie TV con l’estetica migliore (e quella migliore in assoluto) è comunque X-Files, che non ho mai finito per non concepire il pensiero “non esistono altre puntate di X-Files da vedere per il resto della mia vita”. Stessa cosa con Evangelion (il manga).
