The 100-Year-Old Story That Predicted Extreme Escapism.
We play games like Minecraft to escape reality and build whatever we want. But this classic short story looks at what happens when someone takes that escapism way too far... Today I am reading "Celephaïs," a masterpiece by H.P. Lovecraft written in 1920. Unlike his typical cosmic horror, this story from his Dream Cycle is a beautifully tragic, melancholic tale about extreme isolation, childhood wonder, and the ultimate cost of chasing your dreams. Grab some snacks, get comfortable, and enjoy this relaxing reading over some custom Minecraft building.
