10.31.25: The Infinite Scroll

Imagine if books worked like social feeds. You open a novel and it never ends. The story just keeps unfolding, algorithmically adjusted to your taste. You like battles? More battles. You enjoy romance? Suddenly endless lovers. At first, it feels like perfection, the story tailored just for you. But soon you realize you’ll never finish. No closure, no last page. Humans crave endings, even sad ones. Without them, we drift, lost in the loop. The infinite scroll isn’t a gift, it’s a trap. And maybe that’s why we should cherish books that actually stop, even if too soon.
