My life as a rat / Yes, every city is a cage of streets, seen from above, but also – of your habits: Paths you take (or don't), cafes you frequent, squares you pass on your way home, to work, to dance on Friday night, and restaurants you might have dined at, had they not been closed. Oh, yes. A dozen roads and fifteen hundred extras would be enough to film your whole damn life on set – and yet you need a million people to feel thoroughly alone? Ten thousand destinations to pretend you're cornered? Five hundred thousand square kilometers to stay away from land in towers, way above the 40th floor – Ah, yes. A Universe, to know: it's there, outside the door. MR@verse
