So a lot of people have been talking about this new book both on the streets and the network and I thought it might be a good way of getting a better understanding of humans and the types of things they like to do.

I was able to get a digital copy so I could read it quickly, but it's a little confusing. I mean, I know it's suppose to be fiction, but sometimes it can show trends in reality.

So are relationships usually that complicated? Or with so many people?

Are rivalries actually just a cover for some deeper relationship between the rivals, or was that just wishful thinking on Mimini's part?

When people are in love, do they really hurt each other like that? Because I was under the impression humans don't like pain and try to avoid it, but it seemed that one character was really enjoying the pain...

Maybe I should read the first book, but I just got here and everyone was talking about this book, so I wanted to keep up with the current topic.

The new one that came out recently. Moonlight Madness by Hanako Ishida? Hold on...

That one! Everyone is talking about it.

HAVE THEY? I SHALL HAVE TO PAY MORE ATTENTION.

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING ABOUT IT?

Well, besides the blurbs on the back cover, quite a few people on the streets were gossiping about it, it seemed. Like discussing some of the scenes from the book with their friends.

But people on the network seem to say it's not a very good piece of literature, and some people think we should burn the book outright. Which I don't understand too much. Data is data, no matter how incorrect it is, and in the case of books, if its entertaining to those that have it, shouldn't it be fine like that?

THAT DOES SEEM RATHER EXTREME. DO THEY WISH TO BURN OTHER PEOPLES COPIES OF THE BOOKS?

[Tachikoma is looking over some of the other posts and videos before answering.]

Mmm... I don't think so, but it's hard to tell with how intense they are with hating it.

IT MUST BE A VERY POWERFUL BOOK THEN. DO THEY GIVE REASONS AS TO WHY THEY WISH TO BURN IT? OR IS IT SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE IT?

Mostly they seem to think it's destroying literature or something like that? I'd have to look over the comments to be sure.

Oh, I also think someone said that isn't how they act at all, but I don't know why they said that. The book wasn't about them.

PERHAPS IT IS ATTACKING OTHER BOOKS?

[It's possible on the Discworld]

THAT IS QUITE STRANGE.

Oh, that's a good possibility! If the digital copy is a virus that destroyed other files and books, then people would definitely be upset about it!

...But most people I've seen talking about it are talking about the hard copy, I think.

PERHAPS IT IS ATTACKING OTHER BOOKS AND DAMAGING THEM PHYSICALLY. DOES THIS WORLD HAVE MUCH MAGIC?
