Gary Snyder On His Macintosh

The great beat poet reflects on the changing digital age in this NY Times article, and actually had mostly harsh words for it, calling text messages “abhorrent”. It took reporter John Markoff a while just to even reach the guy, as he lives in California without electricity. However, when asked what technology he actually uses, he said his laptop, because he “like[s] the storage it has”. The article also prints a poem entitled “Why I Take Good Care Of My Macintosh”
