[Title] => Hunting and gathering in the digital era
[Summary] => Way, way back in the early days of mankind, guys had their hands full on a daily basis: gathering food was the main task for primitive man, and this was no picnic — or drive-through at Mickey D’s for that matter. No, early man spent vast amounts of time, energy and calories simply trying to track and knock down something and drag it home to eat.

[Title] => Death and taxes
[Summary] => They say nothing is sure in this life except death and taxes. In the case of The Pale King, David Foster Wallace’s final, unfinished novel (before he committed suicide in 2008), the two certainties are combined: the novelist himself is a fictional character in the book which takes on the lives of tax form examiners, a kind of slow-death existential crisis that leaches away the very humanity from most souls laboring at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Regional Examination Center in Peoria, Illinois.
