I couldn’t resist The Address Book. It looks like an address book. It feels like an address book. It’s also an interesting and kind of freaky idea…
You find an address book on the street. You look at it, see that the owner’s name, address, phone number are on the front and you’re going to return it. But first, you read it. And you copy names/phone numbers of everyone in it.
And then you contact those people to ask them to tell you about the person whose address book you found.
Fascinating and creepy and I couldn’t look away.
It ended early. And not the way I wanted it to end. So dissatisfying. I had such high hopes.
I also had a hard time remembering that the address book was found in the early 80s. Who carries around an address book now? To do this today, you’d have to find someone’s iPhone and copy all of the contacts and stuff. Totally different start to the project. (and even more creepy, hah.)
