Pamela Paul, American journalist and writer, offers us an essay, in form of very original and personal short aphorisms that obviously reflect the American social and cultural reality in which she lives and works. Not a few also respond to our reality. Almost all situations have undergone a transformation and an evolution. We are all too familiar with the cascading effects of the Internet on our daily existence, whether from the screen we touch, or from the button we press when we wake up in the morning. From what we do when we get out of bed to what we worry about as we fall asleep at night.
