From “The Autumn of the Multitaskers,” an essay by novelist Walter Kirn in the November Atlantic:
“Where do you want to go today?” Microsoft asked us.(Thanks to L. Lee Lowe, who pointed her readers to this essay.)
Now that I no longer confuse freedom with speed, convenience, and mobility, my answer would be: “Away. Just away. Someplace where I can think.”
