Fauxthenticity. Visiting old towns in far away lands that have had their souls gutted out and replaced by homeware stores and coffee roasters.

Isn’t it as simple as the fact that the man is the face of the business. And this face has a personality (unlike the technology he’s building) which is revealing itself to be more warped, sinister and problematic than we’d ever really realised?
