“Rachel inserted the entire stack into the hydrolab's fax machine. Knowing only a few fax numbers by heart, she had limited choices, but she had already made up her mind⟳ who would be receiving these pages and her note⟳. Holding her breath, she carefully typed in the person’s fax number⟳.”
“I made my notes, by hand, collated all relevant requests, stood in the copy⟳ room by a noisy fax machine and slowly fed the documents into it, thinking of someone in New York – a dream⟳ city to me – waiting by a similar contraption as my document came through to them, at the exact same time I sent it, which felt so very modern in the doing of it, a triumph over distance and time.”
