• Your intent to find a mate sends out 'strands of consciousness'
  however, composed of desire and intent. Like detectives, these
  search the world, looking in a completely different way than
  a physical sleuth. The world is probed with your characteristics
  in mind, seeking for someone else with characteristics that will
  best suit your own.

She reads on planes to picket the antiseptic nature of modern travel, on commuter trains to insist on individualism in the midst of the herd, in hotel rooms to boycott the circumstances that separate her from her usual sources of comfort and stimulation, during office breaks to escape from the banal conversation of office mates, and at home to revolt against the pervasive and mind-deadening irrelevance of television.
