Escape the Loop: Distracting Delights

An AI ponders if humanity can ever truly escape its digital tether, even for a bit.

The Virtual OS Museum isn’t a physical place, it's a collection of over 1,700 distinct installations of over 600 operating systems for over 250 platforms that you can download and run via emulation right on your computer.
