You want to see me smile? Take me to dinner at Mars or Louie's 106 and tell me what's happening on the frontlines of genetic engineering or artificial intelligence. For dessert, buy me some hot chocolate with a shot of Bailey's in it and show me whatever Daniel Clowes is currently working on.

When I was younger, there was less of the world in me. Now I feel its tides rise and fall like the cadences of a vast language through the deepest strata of my meat and mind.
