What was archaic about it? I'd say it represented its era fairly well, not anachronistic

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but

yeah i think those things are pretty cool
Yeah and?
shut up
I don't know of any literature about it, but I have the coffee table book and it's pretty good
I legitimately thought this place was entirely fictional.
That particular picture is, it is a replica in Kawasaki Japan. The real thing did exist, there are youtube videos of people walking around and in it
The picture looks very cool. Unfortunately I can never go to Japan because I don't want to go to a place where everyone fricking hates me.
I was going to call you a liar but then I remember how my dumbass ex got deported and banned from Japan because she thought the Japs don't know about vape pens and weed.
If you aren't a Black person you'll be alright

>I don't want to go to a place where everyone fricking hates me
Better not go outside then.
I try not to.

And people claim we're not living in a simulation, when shit as old and seldomly spoken about suddenly appears in clusters.
On topic: Chck out Hanwieners books about the water damage one the phinx and how we will have to date is back soon, to a couple tousand years older. Similarly to Göbekli Tepe, where the youngest layer is 12K years old.
>And people claim we're not living in a simulation
It amazes me that man created a god when they knew not how things worked, but when they learned things and created computers, their god has advanced to the point of being a simulation creator. Clearly, it's not the lack of knowledge that made men create a God, but the soul seeking its home.
Black person I literally had a composer sperg out about it and about writing a piece about it like a week ago. It's surreal.
I mean I've heard and read about it a year or two ago, maybe even more, but it's weird as frick.
I mean, it might be a case of thinking about red cars and afterwards seeing more of those, but Kowlon is such a relatively rare topic that I would have noticed either way. It's like people talking about Göbekli Tepe. Doesn't happen that often. What bothered me explicitly was the fact that I started thinking about it due to my own actions (looking up chinese laws and population control, which reminded me oft this insane pocket city, after reading about the "100 days without children" were they celebrated not having any new borns after aborting or outright strangling any new borns no matter how vitaly born during the one child policy).
So it's not like it came from a plebbit post or other algorithm. I haven't even spoken about it anyone till now, so now influence from my shitposting either. Yet here we are. Talking about it on a litrature board. I'm gonna xperiment and try to meme other rare topics into existance. Maybe the CIA actually did succed in their spooky psych programms and shit actually works.
>just thought about Kowloon for the last couple days after watching some unrelated documentaries about china
You were watching the same algo suggested video as everyone else. Thats how youtube works. You arent special lmfao.
No, I explicitly looked for such documentations due to my countries political situation and new laws which basically import their shitty ones. Think China Insights.
And yes, I listen to such vids while doing home choirs due to lack of time otherwise.
>home choirs
Is this a new church thing that trads are doing?
>there are anons here who watch YouTube videos
>there's an anon here who can't read

I've been to places in India that reminded me of Kowloon. It's a very strange sort of comfiness.
I don't know of any fiction, but Greg Girard has a terrific book of photography and interviews with folks that lived there. It was recently reprinted but very expensive. Got my hands on one and it is a treasure. I think it's called City of Darkness
