I have never connected with any artist as much as I have with Cormac McCarthy. His writing brings forth feelings and ideas that seem to have always existed inside me but were waiting for his words to take shape. Throughout his work runs a l

I've been thinking about this too. Why is it about these sites that they transmit that changes how we approach and experience them. The internet of the 90's had a sort magical feeling to it. It was new and different and felt very

To be frank I have no idea what his opinion of Rust is but if there is a guy who has it in him to make that kind of decision it's Linus. He changed software twice he can do a third time.

The Road is his only post-apocalyptic novel, it's not really a theme of his. The potential for savagery, how easy it is for some to take a human life or completely disregard it is a theme that runs in many of his novels. In a post-ap
