Kindle Notes & Highlights
Andy Warhol was wrong. In the future, people won’t be famous for fifteen minutes. No, in the future, everyone will sit next to someone famous for at least fifteen minutes. Typhoid Mary or Ted Bundy or Sharon Tate. History is nothing except monsters or victims. Or witnesses.

Death is a tragic event, but stopping the flow of traffic is always seen as the greater crime.
You burn out your brain with rabies. Go all theta-trance-y with driving. You hit something and wake up naked in history.
