'Being on the internet just doesn't feel as fun anymore. As more of our digital life is driven by algorithms, it's become a lot easier to find movies or TV shows or music that fits our preferences pretty well. But it feels harder to find things that are strange and surprising—the kinds of culture that help you, as an individual, develop your own sense of taste.'
'The generic coffee shop has become my Moby Dick. It was just this strange, uncanny experience I was having that as I traveled around the world doing these freelance magazine assignments, I would land in a particular city...and I always managed to find a particular style of coffee shop. It was this minimalist box of a cafe with white subway tiles on the walls and midcentury Scandinavian furniture and handmade ceramic mugs with nice cappuccinos in them. And this was not the work of a parent company. It wasn't a Starbucks. It wasn't a global chain.'
