Quote preview background for Matthew Selwyn
That Yank glean is long gone anyway; money, sex, power, it__ gone global _ no one has a monopoly on it anymore. The towering skyscrapers of New York had fallen long before the second plane; we all knew it. The twang of the Yank accent doesn__ give girls that twinge these days, even the dollar sign is looking dated, its day long past. No, America doesn__ have it anymore.But then nowhere does. We don__ chop the world up by borders anymore, don__ slice peoples and dice continents. It__ all a sweltering mess, a fucking free-for-all. We went global centuries ago, today we__e gone digital, and digital doesn__ have borders.
