Oh I'm sorry I missed your question about the "Zen" book, sure I've heard about it since ages, I've seen it in some of my friends's houses but never read it believe it or not. Actually, believe it or not, I rarely read books. I have so few that I can almost remember them all, the vast majority of them being gifts. From the way I speak and write (consider that my English is like half of my native Greek) several people have tried to convince me to write a book. I should have captured their eyes watching me saying "thanks but not sure I can make a good one since I actually don't read" 🙂 I mean, I think I can do a good one in Greek (chances of someone reading it being pretty low) but (the vastly more popular) English is a different story. Regardless how well you know a language there's always a barrier at least as long as you haven't lived in a place where this is spoken. At some extend I believe there is no 100% translation but that's another story...

"...people will want to return to meeting each other normally." Right on. We're lucky to experience the pre and post internet life therefore value things in a more objective way. Personally speaking I want to expand my real life via internet while (as far as I can tell) most people tend to substitute their real life with it. Vicarious existence is anything but attractive to me.

The musician I talked about is no other than the writer of Ghost Rider, drummer and lyricist for Rush, mr. Neil Peart.
