It is very beautiful but it also feels impersonal. When I hold a book there's a sense of intimacy but when I look at the screen I don't feel the same sense of privacy - so many other people may be looking at that same thing at that same time.
Maybe I look to books for escape rather than connection, and sometimes the online life can feel, indeed, like a web that catches us.
oh! beautiful!
