I’ve been a writer for 40 years, and my
attitude toward writing machines has
never been simple. Right now I’m sitting
in a quiet one-room cabin in the
Maine woods, writing in natural light
with a fountain pen into a bound blank
book. I could have done that in the 19th
century—or 5,000 years ago, if you trade
the fountain pen for a quill or stylus.
