Self-awareness.

A lot of the time Tao Lin exposes deep and understated truths about himself that aren't often talked about through his straight-forward, almost child-like manner of writing. It can actually be very powerful.

Joyce on the other hand is inaccessible and often pretentious. The language used distorts the sentiment and often the storyline is more glib than anything in Tao Lin's repertoire.

sometimes i think im depressed because whenever i dont have vacuous short term goals working toward societally-established points of success i start to realize im a weird monkey thing floating on an orb in space and that my existence probably doesnt mean anything and in 30 years the clothes i wear and music i listen to will be considered stupid like people from the 1980s and stuff and in 300 years no one will care that i ever existed and the world will be overpopulated

Everyone in the family always loves to watch TV on mondays. Mother is in the attic. Mountain Dew commercial. Cut to mom's blue eyeshadow. GraNdpa has been dead for months. Slowly, the eyeshadow morphs into his pallid flesh."I've never felt so lonely," the boy says, "i'm isolated from a self-actualized version of myself." their computer has a program on it that is alive. It says, "help me, I'm your grandpa." Really he is a tech-satan programmed by a goth kid. "Reality is a subjective manifestation of years of biological evolution. Nothing means anything,' Seinfeld says. Unseen people on the TV laugh.
