I believe our techno-zealotry will be moderated by sheer circumstance. We will do what reality compels us to do, not necessarily what our fantasies propose.

I like to call it 'the national automobile slum.' You can call it suburban sprawl. I think it's appropriate to call it the greatest misallocation of resources in the history of the world.

The twentieth century was about getting around. The twenty-first century will be about staying in a place worth staying in.

I like the fact that second person puts the reader in the story. It makes them, whether they like it or not, complicit in the action.

Regina Spektor is great. I can't wait to see what more she's capable of.

The sky, the sky beyond the door is bluuuuuuue!
