I Think Coexisting With Another Life Form

I Am Of Mixed Minds About The Issue Of Privacy. On One Hand, I Understand That Information Is Power, And Power Is, Well, Power, So Keeping Your Private Information To Yourself Is Essential - Especially If You Are A Controversial Figure, A Celebrity, Or A Dissident.

My Ace In The Hole As A Human Being Used To Be My Capacity For Remembering Birthdays. I Worked At It. Whenever I Made A New Friend, I Made A Point Of Finding Out His Or Her Birthday Early On, And I Would Record It In My Filofax Calendar.

I Can Imagine A Future In Which Real Books Will Exist But In A More Limited, Particular Way.
