Today we have no community, so there’s very little 
satisfaction in extending yourself through your 
family. Women have no fulfillment in having children 
if their children live thousands of miles away and are 
perpetually on the move. Mobility has destroyed the 
community in the 20th century. But mobility, 
pushed a little further, restores community. At 
much higher speed, we are once more able to 
associate all the time with people who are now far 
away.
