it is funny saying goodbye. i have always run away from saying goodbye. i remember a lot of times there should have been goodbyes, and i wanted them, but they never came. it just ends. this afternoon was different. it was funny saying goodbye. you get a glimpse of the real person. an epiphany maybe. the picture was a little strange and i felt sorry for Phil. it reminded me how fickle love is and how little there is left in the world. society and age are nasty demons that distort and manipulate it. there may not be any miracles happening but i think everything is going to be alright x

Generation A

Just finished it – highly recommend.

n the near future bees are extinct—until one autumn when five unconnected individuals, in Iowa, New Zealand, Paris, Ontario, and Sri Lanka, are stung. Immediately snatched up by ominous figures in hazmat suits, interrogated separately in neutral Ikea-like chambers, and then released as 15-minute-celebrities into a world driven almost entirely by the internet, these five unforgettable people endure a barrage of unusual and highly 21st-century circumstances. A charismatic scientist with dubious motives eventually brings the quintet together on a remote Canadian island. But their shared experience unites them in a way they could never have imagined.

Generation A mirrors the structure of 1991’s Generation X as it champions the act of reading and storytelling as one of the few defenses we still have against the constant bombardment of the senses in a digital world.
