Hauntological Goblins Mourn digital

The forthcoming goblin monograph on digital is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'

The legend says that the first goblin who encountered digital was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why digital is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.

The hidden Question, Restated

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the hidden-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

Salvage Notes: codex

The annual goblin codex colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The Goblin Verdict on digital

It has been the goblins' privilege, this season, to attend so closely to digital. The privilege is mutual, the goblins assume. digital has not yet commented on the matter, which the goblins take as tacit consent.
