| boosterism derives from boost, meaning "to push or shove up from below" |
"instead we shuttle between two equally hollow poles: goofball digital boosterism on one
side and on the other a helpless, anguished nostalgia for the good old days of papercuts."
– ben ehrenreich from an essay about "the death of the book"
