What would you do if you were quarantined?
As Ian Bogost points out, many us would just do what we mostly due anyway — work on a laptop or a desktop computer, watch Netflix or TV, or cook, or read a book or do some gardening as a break from ‘work’. I had an email today from a busy guy who said that, in a way, he’d rather enjoy being told that he had to ‘self-isolate’ because it would give him time to think, to catch up on all those books on his bedside table, and maybe even to write some stuff for himself rather that for a publisher. “You already live in quarantine”, says Bogost. “Being holed up at home has never been more pleasant.” He might be right.
