Last year my neighborhood tried a silent book club. Two meetings, then nothing. People loved the idea of reading together; nobody loved the reading. This? Same thing, minus the book. You walk, you plug in, you nod at strangers who are also ignoring you. Sales climb because we’ve finally found a way to be alone in public and call it community.
