I very much enjoyed "When the Snow Melted", is that an excerpt from a novel or just a short story? I wish I understood Bohe's motivations a little more, though. Like the reasons he wanted to go back to China, and what prompted his altered views of domesticity.
..Oh who was he kidding anyways.
"Hold it Gabe".
He stood there staring at the expectant crowd. The piercing lights of the stage forcing beads of sweat to appear.
"Fuck", he began, his voice cracking. He paused to light the dangling cig. The nervous silence puctuated only by the click of his zippo and a heaving cough from the back of the room.
The cool smoke tickled his throat. How had he ended up here? It didn't matter, she wasn't here.
"I'm sorry, I can't do this", he mumbled, looking around confusedly. "I'm sorry."
He headed for the door and paused outside to take the last drage of the stale cig and flick it into the gutter. The sun was out, and the birds chirping; perhaps it was going to be a good day...
I think the point he is trying to make is that we all will be living within our imaginations. e.g. There are more and more information workers, we play video games etc.
In other words 'living online', is a metaphor for the transition to the Information Age. I think it is generally agreed that this is indeed happening.
The order is not chronological, I remember reading them in chronological order as a kid. I think it starts with 6 then jumps to 4...ahh I dont remember now..
Is this a joke? Just when you think things can't get any wierder..though considering that the US has annexed all Canadian airspace I guess anything is possible.
Sullivan, I think this ventures into the realm of satire.
It is obvious that you dislike Friedman, so perhaps you should have titled your post: "I dislike morans and I do not appreciate subtlety".

Let's hope McCain's anti-torture bill passes, or it's just more of this nonsense.
