"There is a world out there, so new, so random and dissociated that it puts us all in danger. We talk on line, we "friend" each other when we don't know who we are really talking to - we fuck strangers. We mistake almost anything for a relationship, a community of sorts, and yet, when we are with our families, in our communities, we are clueless, we short-circuited and immediately dive back into the digitized version-it is easier because we can be both our true selves and our fantasy selves at once, with each carrying equal weight"
A.M. Homes - from her novel "May We Be Forgiven"
