The Eschaton debacle (p. 321)
children in the very earliest stages of puberty and really abstract-capable thought, when one’s allergy to the confining realities of the present is just starting to emerge as weird kind of nostalgia for stuff you never even knew [n.120]
Context
The Eschaton chapter's opening diagnosis of its own devotees: nostalgia with no remembered referent — the memory-faculty running in reverse, generating longing for an unexperienced past — named as the psychic root of the game's Cold War necromancy. False memory's affective cousin. (The text's "as weird kind of nostalgia," no article, is plausibly a dropped "a.")
