Dost thou have an opinion about this Bay Area author's book "The Circle"? <br /><br />I ask because I just finished reading it. As a long-time reader of your blog (when I find myself on the right side of the digital divide), I am more than curious about what that elegant mind of yours would make of the issues Eggers takes on. Especially given your intimacy with cyber-culture, your fluency with its language and trends.<br /><br />Me? I have my thoughts. But they tend toward feelings and impressions that are, if anything, preverbal, and only come out well in discussion when I am forced to translate them into words. <br /><br />I realize this comment is unrelated to your post, so I apologize and will close the circle of this comment by telling you I appreciate the clarification about what radical means. I'm a radical. I've suffered for it. My brain doesn't work as well as it used to because of what trauma does to the prefrontal cortex. And I get to experience what it feels like to be smart again when I read your radical blog. Thank you for writing it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
