THE BOOK On the borderless, invisible country of the internet, thoughts flit through the ether like fireflies, aglow with the urgency of information, ideas, and opinions. A flicker here, a shimmer there, and they are gone, drifting away in the stream of consciousness that defines social networks. But sometimes, they linger. Sometimes, they keep on glowing. Through the eyes of Gus Silber, journalist, author, and social commentator, Facebook is transformed into a platform for essays that illuminate everyday experiences, cast new light on the ways of the world, and explore the impulses and connections that make us human. In this eclectic, electric anthology of musings, bemusings, and amusings, you will find more than 90 of Silber’s digital dispatches, covering topics as diverse as stand-up comedy, the house-breaking habits of hadedas, the haunted libraries of our childhood, and the secret, never-before-revealed meaning of Bohemian Rhapsody.
