Description
These new pieces are arranged into five sections: "In the World," "In the Audience," "In the Gallery," "On the Bookshelf," and "Feel Free. " In them, Smith poses questions we immediately recognize and delivers her answers with unexpected turns of phrase. What is The Social Network--and Facebook itself--really about? It's a cruel portrait of us: 500 million sentient people entrapped in the recent careless thoughts of a Harvard sophomore. Why do we love libraries? Smith takes us on a tour of her childhood library and wonders whether our relationship with books has changed as we have all come to depend on e-readers, which allow for social sharing of reading material and make it harder for us to lose ourselves in a story.
