“The generation behind me is nostalgic for an institutional ease of which I can barely conceive, which, for all its systemic flaws, was safe from the ruinous interferences of technology. I witnessed the tail end of it, before the battle royale between the robots and the dinosaurs began in earnest. I imagine every industry is like this. Maybe the people behind you had it better and maybe they had it worse, but it always feels like they knew what the hell was going on.”

“I hang up the phone. I don’t have time for this lack of vision.”

“It’s unpredictable, this stage of grief. Just when you think you have a handle on it, a crack opens up where the crazy gets in. The pain is a weather system that builds and expands, occasionally touching down, like lightning. If you have ever thrown your back out while brushing your teeth, you’re familiar with the sensation.”
