The internet is a mall, and we are trapped inside it
Recently, in need of an outfit for a wedding, I typed the words 'green floor-length dress floral' into Google and clicked the shopping tab. The results were mixed: Some dresses were not green, some were not floral and others were not floor-length. Many looked eerie, like artificial intelligence creations sloppily photoshopped onto models. As I scrolled, I tried to make my best guesses about which dresses actually existed, what their tulle and satin would feel like against my body.
