This is an essay that I published some time ago in German: https://www.begleitschreiben.net/wenn-der-postman-mehrfach-klingelt/
The translation I never put anywhere, but as I think now would be the perfect time to rewatch Westworld, I will just put it into the large digital void hoping I may once receive a comment. Have fun!
