Fascinating example of somnambulism in the early 21st century. First reported in Sleep Medicine, the Fortean Times documents a case of a woman who e-mailed party invitations while essentially sleepwalking. What might be called “digital delirium”. Strange new manifestation of the mind-machine interface. A damn sight more unusual than our everyday ebb and flow of constant connectedness.
Mesmer in mirrorshades, that.
By way of Boing Boing.
