Proto-hypertext with the flaneur as the modern day idling web surfer. Prescient and beautiful.

The Arcades is an impossible project: impossible to write, impossible in any ordinary sense to read. The impossibility, for Benjamin, seems to have been the point. For the reader, it makes the Arcades a kind of paradoxical or negative key to the rest of Benjamin's work.

It's sort of cheating to mark this as read, since you skip around for days and just enjoy. One of those books that zips together all kinds of stray bits of knowledge.
