Collection of some of Franzen's essays, including the one known as "the Harper's essay". Some are edited or tweaked from their original printings. A mixture of topics but well-written and enjoyable; Franzen is as thoughtful as ever.

Re-read — fascinating to revisit Franzen's thoughts on privacy, bureaucracy, culture, reading, technology in 2022. Holds up surprisingly well.
