"Through this twilight universe Daisy began to move again with the network, suddenly she was again keeping half a dozen dates a day with half a dozen blogsites, and drowsing asleep at dawn with her laptop on the floor beside her bed."
"Sometimes she and Miss Baker texted at once, unobtrusively and with a bantering inconsequence that was never quite chatter, that was as cool as their white iPads and their impersonal eyes in the absence of all connectivity."
"At the enchanted metropolitan twilight I felt a haunting loneliness sometimes, and felt it in others — poor young hipsters who loitered with free WiFi, waiting until it was time for a solitary Starbucks latte with soy milk— young Tweeters on the internet, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life."
"The prolonged and tumultuous argument that ended by herding us into that chat room eludes me, though I have a sharp physical memory that, in the course of the comments thread, my underwear kept climbing like a damp snake around my legs and intermittent beads of sweat raced cool across my back."
