I think very soon there will be an obsolescence of trust, because it's much easier to access a person's location than it is to ask - or to trust.
Dave Eggers
Image
He must trust, and he must have faith. And so he builds, because what is building, and rebuilding and rebuilding again, but an act of faith?
Dave Eggers
