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.

Cool, Fluffy, and Excellent Value
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I recently got the Utopia Bedding Queen Size Bed Pillows (set of 2), and they’ve quickly become my favorite pillows for a good night’s sleep. Right out of the package, they fluffed up nicely and feel soft yet supportive. The down alternative filling gives a plush, comfortable feel without being too firm or too flat, and the gusseted design adds extra support for back, stomach, or side sleeping. I’ve tried them in all positions, and they hold up well without collapsing overnight. Another big plus is that they stay cool while I sleep. Even during warmer nights, I don’t feel overheated, which makes a huge difference in comfort. The pillow covers are smooth and feel like hotel-quality fabric, giving the bed a clean, luxurious look. The only minor thing is that they may take a little time to reach full fluffiness after the first wash, but that’s normal for down alternative pillows. Overall, these are soft, supportive, and high-quality pillows at a great price. They’ve improved my sleep noticeably, and I’d definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a comfortable, versatile pillow set

Well priced luxury feel.
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
This set of 2 pillows is very luxurious and comfortable to sleep on with good height but not so much as to elevate or lower the head to an uncomfortable degree. I just received them so they need time to air and expand fully but right out of the compacted box they are full and very comfortable. The fabric is very soft and there is no odor. These pillows are definitely a good price for such a luxury item. I think I will enjoy them for some time to come.

Soft...but fluffy and tall
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
I've only had these pillows for about a week. They are a great quality pillow. The cover is soft and seems well made. My only complaint is that they are VERY full pillows. If you're tall with broader shoulders, you'll probably love them. If you're shorter with a smaller frame you will probably feel like your head is too high and your neck at a weird angle (my problem). There seemed to be mixed reviews about softness....I would consider these a nice medium pillow. Soft filling but firm enough that your head doesn't sink to the bed. Definitely NOT a down-like pillow, so if that's what you're looking for, this is not for you.

Soft, fluffy and surprisingly comfortable
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I really liked these pillows. I tried to show different things in my photos because I wanted people to see the details: the design, how fluffy they are, and how full and thick they actually look. They are so full that the pillowcase even looks tight once you put it on, which I actually loved because they look luxurious and well-filled. At first glance they look very thick and high, but once you lay down they feel soft and fluffy instead of hard. They adjust comfortably and feel very cozy whether you’re sleeping, relaxing, or even reading before bed. I think they offer a really good balance because they feel supportive without being stiff. Of course, pillow preference is very personal—some people like lower pillows and others like higher ones—but for someone who likes fuller pillows that are still soft and comfortable, these are great. They are spacious, cozy, and feel like a very good purchase overall. I honestly don’t have any complaints so far. Definitely happy with them.
