*chasing you* IT'S CLASSIC ENEMIES TO LOVERS SO IT'S TRUE, I KNOW THE FUTURE, YOU DON'T UNDERST-

The fact that TMAGP begins with boot up noises -- and it's implied that Teddy turned off his computer but it turned itself back on -- establishes that we're listening from the same vantage point as whatever's in that machine. Or the system at large.
So the pub conversation is what confuses me. Is whatever's in the OIAR system on Alice's phone? She would DEFINITELY ignore regulations around not connecting personal devices to the network/etc. But is it following her intentionally, or did it just get on there? You hear camera noises while Sam talks to Colin, so it feels intentional. Malicious or beneficent, though...
The transcripts also say that Norris's and Chester's readings occurs in "CYBERSPACE," which is cool to me because TMA didn't get super deep into fears of technology (certainly cameras, keyboard eating, and uncanny automata could all be lumped in, but tech itself wasn't the "fear" - it was the eye, the spiral, and the stranger). So far technology, the complexity of it, the things lurking in spaghetti code, are front and center.
All of the stories so far have also touched on body modification, even transhumanism (esp. 3), and I can't resist thinking I KNOW where this is going. Gimme that sweet sweet .jmj 🙈
I also wonder if the mere act of categorizing these cases is constructing the new fears.
I don't know about that

I feel like I’m waiting on the beach for a radioactive wave to hit me, but like, in an exciting way
The feeling that comes with waiting to see how supernatural ends through tumblr is like the 2020 equivalent to the the people in the 50s/60s who’d watch the news on the TVs in the shop windows.

I like to imagine TMAGP'S Gerry is just as goth, but covered in paint (and hair dye)
