As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online, there is increasingly less attention to be paid in the real world, which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online, or else risk attentionstarvation. The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly transformed, and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices. Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea, so it is with too much attention exchange. The biological consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible。 he would make a man of himself again. Those sweet notes had set up a revolution in him.

I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren’t quite ready to let me in yet. “Please wait in here, Ms Abujaber,” the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, acpanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I’d flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was startled that I was being sent “in back” once again.

An officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said. “For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.” “I’m just a university professor ,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak. “Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.” I put my phone away. My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, even a flight attendant.

Here’s how I tell it: “A nurse — her name is Joyce— feels a presence in the waiting room. She looks around but sees nothing. She jumps up from her desk, carefully replaces her chair, and runs down the lavenderhued hallway to the doctor’s office. She knocks on the door. No response. He’s not there. Where can he be?
