I'm starting to feel like the reason Stranger Things spoke to everyone so much was in part just this concept of an upside down world, where everything is dark and predatory and dangerous. Maybe the online world, which in some ways feels more powerful and therefore more real than the real world, is this upside down that's always there, all around us, and it's this thing that used to be separate but now is invading our normal analog space.
