    These are problematic, because I don't think that we feel we have any unity or national identity, which sounds silly when you say it, but also is the invisible glue that holds the country together.

Actually, it's a seminal book.

    The internet has given u sways to reorganize life that were never possible before, and despite the fact that we've made a terrible mess of it over the last 15 years, I think this is the dark before the dawn.

Not until we revise the shit out of the Internet. The signals and semantics we get out of online communication bypass our empathy centers almost entirely, which is one of the reasons online communication is so combative.

This was my hardest read of the year. Things can get so much worse.
