the last several years
his personal and professional life
the last few days
this period

In a world of
ambient intelligence
woe
unstable electricity distribution
rising life expectancies
shit
networked knowledge
private capital markets
strangers
their own
business process outsourcing
software diversity
smart everyday objects
trouble
bandwidth-on-demand
increasing complexity and diminishing institutional power
spam

The heartbreaking story of
the prince that history forgot
friendship and love
a man who murders his wife
the prejudice she faced
an irretrievable loss
an Indian Air Force pilot
two Italian immigrant radicals
baseball legend Lou Gehrig
how the Hebrews won their release from Egyptian slavery
their renewed love
his children
the men who made it
her greatest love
our friend's friend

The bittersweet tale of
a misclaimed Civil War medal
baby ring-tailed lemurs
a young boy who’s worth getting to know
a dancer who finds her destiny
a fading starlet who must face a harsh reality
two boy geniuses
monstrous love
a life wasted by love
a roguish country singer
a girl who lives near a portal into Hell
a boy who escapes his poverty-stricken existence and becomes heir to a magical chocolate factory
