Do you have kids? I've got kids, and addiction to tech is a real thing. Being a parent is so so hard, and then you add this thing that is designed to trigger every impulse. Every parent I know says "I'm so glad I didn't have to raise my kids with smart phones."

And, I love comic books, and this is different.

I notice a big difference in behaviour between even old games (think SNES, PS1) and modern games. There's definitely something in the new ones.

Seems like a 4 month old spicy throwaway take account.

Comics of the 80s felt designed to let kids imagine a world bigger than the one they were in they had a place in a bigger world.

Stan Lee has some great interviews on it.
