I’ve been mulling over something lately and would love to hear your thoughts. With 5G making near-instant global communication a reality, it feels like the old existentialist debates about distance and separation might need revisiting. If we can connect across continents without delay, does physical space still carry the same weight in how we understand isolation or connection?
Camus and Sartre wrote about the gulf between people as something fundamental, but tech like 5G seems to blur those lines. Does this shift how we experience loneliness or presence, or is the human condition still rooted in something deeper than bandwidth? Curious if anyone’s dug into this or has recommendations for readings that tackle tech’s role in existential themes.
