The internet sometimes feels like living in a holographic world, as in "The Invention of Morel" [1].

A recent anecdote: an acquaintance of mine automated parts of his LinkedIn activity. After I liked one of his posts, I received an automatic message asking how I was doing. I recognized that the message didn't match a personal tone, but I replied anyway to catch up. He never responded, highlighting how people are automating the engagement process but can't really keep up with the manual follow-through.
