myth of sysiphus

http://www.nyu.edu/classes/keefer/hell/ca-mus.html

the existential problem of books.

the naive fi ghters of those wanting to be in control and make their own paper-

digital natives versus the older generation- the generation jumps

the irrationality of the older generation- belief in collapse of the com-puter world, the need for physical books, acces-sible hardware to our sense. no mediator of the computer.

Camus identifi es three characteristics of the absurd life: revolt (we must not ac-cept any answer or reconciliation in our struggle), freedom (we are absolutely free to think and behave as we choose), and passion (we must pursue a life of rich and diverse experiences).

Camus gives four examples of the ab-surd life: the seducer, who pursues the passions of the moment; the actor, who compresses the passions of hundreds of lives into a stage career; the conqueror, or rebel, whose political struggle focuses his energies; and the artist, who creates entire worlds. Absurd art does not try to explain experience, but simply describes it. It pres-ents a certain worldview that deals with particular matters rather than aiming for universal themes.
