#625: Collections explain

Cueball: I now have every Discworld book!
Megan: Eh. Building a Kindle collection seems pointless.
Cueball: Yeah, I know the DRM means I’ll probably lose them someday.
Megan: No, pointless in general.
Megan: Sure, you satisfy deep magpie-like urges by building neat collections, but you still die alone.
Cueball: Sorry, sometimes I mistake your existential crises for technical insights.
Megan: Sometimes I mistake this for a universe that cares.
