Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose

FreedomFreedom by Jonathan Franzen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have to say that while this wasn’t an uplifting book. I was warned by the book lady blog. It was still a very compelling read. I’d like to point out that I paid for it and read it on an eReader which I’m sure would make Mr. Franzen spin in his grave if he were in it. Happily he is not and I hope to read more of his work.

Consider a future device for individual use, which is a sort of mechanized private file and library. It needs a name, and, to coin one at random, “memex” will do. A memex is a device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.
