"I wanted to understand what the internet is doing to our brains and so far I have got bits and pieces of the answer to that question while opening my mind to the cyclical nature of progress.

""The Ride of the Rohirrim"
Ride now, ride now, ride to Gondor!
This chapter reflects Tolkien's passion for his craft as he narrates one of the most important battles in the history of fantasy literature.
