i'm not gonna actively discourage any of your long lived tail dreams, but i will advise against it.

Trust me, I will not be getting a tail now or any other day

I'm just saying tattoos and piercings are far more believable than some of the things I've seen in that market

your name is booker and you never read cyberpunk dystopia with hardcore body modification? sounds like you need to expand that library.

I have always been more a fan of the classics

you gotta broaden your horizons then maybe tails wouldn't be a cyberpunk surprise

I'm sure we have other priorities

it could fall under research

given we're in the middle of some real life cyberpunk nonsense

True

If you find me a proper book to read in this genre

I will do it

your definition of proper book is probably way more elitist than mine

Elitist?

Is that what we're calling it?

[ lols ]

book snob is the alternative

Ah of course

Well then, clearly I need a lesson or two on 'broadening my horizons' as you say

[ says the man who literally has a book collecting problem some might otherwise call, 'Hoarding'.

Catch him getting addicted to that cyberpunk genre. ]

not my fault you had 200 years and stayed clear of entire genres

we'll work on it

[ at least it's not twilight. ]

I appreciate the help

It will take some getting used to reading entire novels on a screen however

[ And he'll grump about it every time, tbh.

Nothing beats a bound book full of real, paper pages. ]

you can hack into security systems across the globe

i think you can get used to books on screen quickly enough if you really try

Perhaps I don't really want to try

I miss paper already

[ Can you practically hear the sigh? ]

hence the book snobbery

i can hear you sighing

if you wanna read that badly, i'm sure you'll get used to it.

Yes okay

I suppose I am a book snob

[ fine FINE he can admit as much. ]

you call yourself booker

i'm glad you can finally admit it

It's an English moniker of my actual surname

[ ... which is admittedly not any better in this argument. ]

Anyway there are worse things to be a snob about, non?

you realize that doesn't help your case

no book snob is definitely the worst of them

[ is she being serious or no?? hard to tell. ]

[ Uh huh.

Anyway, there's a laugh she won't ever hear but can probably imagine from the other line. ]

You have a very similar humour to Andy's

i'm taking that as compliment

It is

[ . . . ]

Most of the time

[ jk jk ]

don't let her hear you say that
