2019 ist Lena Lindgren ins Silicon Valley gereist, in der Hoffnung, Mark Zuckerberg zu seinen Plänen für telepathische Technologie zu interviewen. Der Versuch scheiterte, aber er lieferte den Anfang für einen investigativen Essay darüber, wie die Medientechnologie uns unter die Haut geht - psychologisch, politisch und existenziell. In dem Buch Echo - Ein Essay über Algorithmen und Begehren betrachtet die Autorin die heutige Gesellschaft durch die Linse des griechischen Mythos von Echo und Narziss. Die Geschichte: Die Bergnymphe Echo redet ununterbrochen. Sie lügt und plappert so viel, dass sie am Ende von Hera bestraft wird. Sie verliert die Fähigkeit, ihre eigenen Sätze zu bilden und kann nur noch wiederholen, was andere sagen. Echos große Liebe ist Narziss, der - nachdem er sich in sein eigenes Spiegelbild verliebt - stirbt. Lena Lindgren zeigt in ihrem Essay, dass dieses Märchen helfen kann, die heutige Welt zu erklären. Sie führt uns zu der Erkenntnis, dass wir kollektiv den Bezug zur Realität verlieren, weil wir - genau wie Echo und Narziss - in unseren eigenen Kanälen (der Echokammer und dem Spiegelsaal) gefangen sind. Sie geht in ihrem Buch auf Themen wie Identitätspolitik, Kulturkriege, Narzissmus (der allzu oft 'Echoismus' in Verkleidung ist), Sucht und Begehren, Verschwörungstheorien und die brutalen Shitstorms in den sozialen Medien ein, und erklärt, wie alle das Ergebnis eines bestimmten Medienmechanismus sind. Diesen Mechanismus nennt sie 'mimetische Algorithmen'. Denn warum werden die Menschen in den sozialen Medien so aggressiv? Warum sehen Instagram-Promis alle mehr oder weniger gleich aus? Warum gedeihen Verschwörungstheorien über diese Kommunikationskanäle? Die Beispiele, die Lindgren in diesem Buch aufführt, sind die typischen 'Medienpersönlichkeiten' unserer Zeit: Donald Trump und der QAnon-Schamane, berühmte Influencer:innen und Glamour-Models, und Terrorist Anders Behring Breivik. Wie ein roter Faden zieht sich die wahre und spannende Geschichte des Investors Peter Thiel und seinem spirituellen Lehrer, dem Religionshistoriker René Girard, durch den Essay. Lena Lindgren ist überzeugt, dass die Radikalisierung, die wir alle erleben, Ausdruck einer fehlgeleiteten Spiritualität ist. Wir sind getrieben von einem Bedürfnis nach 'etwas Größerem', dem Streben nach Liebe und einem Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit. In einem persönlichen und poetischen Stil hat die Autorin eine 'Theorie' darüber aufgestellt, warum die Welt einen Umbruch erlebt, und warum wir diesen nicht unbeschadet, oder unberührt, überstehen.

Just perfect.
Color: Gold Havana/G-15 Green, Lens Width: 55 Millimeters
I saw this model of Ray Bans while watching Top Gun: Maverick. Actor John Hamm (Cyclone, in the movie) sported these during the beach scene. I looked for them here in Amazon and was lucky to find them for less than $100. They fit just great, and the lenses (G-15), give a clear and high definition picture. I definitely recommend them, perfect for driving, cycling, or your next F/A-18 mission.

Almost like they used to be...
Color: Gunmetal/G-15 Green, Lens Width: 55 Millimeters
These are the 3rd pair of Caravans I've owned over the years. The 1st pair were chrome frames and got mangled one time when I had set them on the trunk of the car to fill-up and drove away without them. Went back after only 100 yards or so, but by then they had been clipped by another car and were toast. Kept the lenses, sent the frame back to B&L (when they were still in Rochester -- and when customer service really WAS important to the company) and they sent back a brand-new pair of black-framed beauties -- FOR FREE! This pair recently experienced a broken frame - right at the junction of the lower curved piece that holds the lens frames together. (How this happened, I have no idea. I was wearing them. Put them in my shirt pocket. Took them out, put them on, and the lens was still in my pocket!) Now, Bausch & Lomb is owned by Luxottica (in Atlanta, GA.) Not entirely friendly, I would say, especially in the tone of the service rep's voice and bluntness. And I was told my only hope of getting any kind of satisfaction was to ship the broken pair to them and after examination they would decide whether it was a manufacturing defect or a customer caused one. Believe me -- there are NO damage marks on these black frames. The frame just cracked due to what? Fatigue, I guess. If judged in my favor they'd give me a substantial discount (40%, I believe) off list price on another pair that they might have in stock at the time. Egads! Talk about leaving you feeling helpless. NONE of the frames and lenses shown were to my liking, so I opted out of that choice and decided to search Amazon for a pair to my liking. So, this brings me to the new ones -- the subject at hand. The lenses on these are advertised as being 55mm wide, which they are. However, the original Caravans were 58mm wide = a small but perceptable difference, especially in field-of-view coverage AND how they look on your face. The G15 lenses seem to be the same tint, and the color (gun metal grey) is very nice. They fit well, and are what one would expect given the name RayBan. Therefore, I recommend them. [Footnote: As for my broken 58mm black-framed pair -- I looked up repair shops on the I-net, found 2 that seemed to talk a good game, picked one (in Cincinnati) and shipped them off today to have the frame laser welded. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they'll come back in usable shape (as promised) and I will again have my Old Faithfull's back. $35 to save a no-longer-made classic pair of RayBans is worth it in my book.]

Classic Design!! But the 55mm frame is too small..
Color: Gunmetal/G-15 Green, Lens Width: 55 Millimeters
Really solid frame and arrived rather fast (7 days before the expected date). It included the original packaging, booklets, cloth and case (the brown one) in the original box. Was surprised that it felt quite heavy, or at least more than what Im used to, although when I wear it I can't really feel the weight. The weight also adds to the feel of it making its structure feel a little more solid that lighter sunglasses. Unfortunately, the 55mm gunmetal + green G 15 lens which I ordered, is about 6 millimetres too small at the sides for me although the lens and front frame are the right size for me and it's actually still wearable. (it's just me). I would probably get the 58mm gold + green G15 later to see if there's a big difference (shouldn't be from the measurements given). That and the fact that these are a great pair of shades with a really classic design

Nice shoes!
Size: 11, Color: Black Full Grain
I bought them in black and I like them so much I will be buying the brown soon. They fit true to size and are comfortable and stylish. I like the clean simplicity. They're basically a dressy sneaker which is perfect for my job's 'dress code'. Yet they're stylish enough to be worn weekends or a night out. They seemed just a touch stiff out of the box but IMO that's completely normal and fine - after just a couple days of wearing them they are breaking in nicely. No complaints on that. They seem to be of very high quality and I'm very happy with them.
