Summary
I considered dozens of ways to start this book and none seemed fitting. A technical introduction that reported billions of mobile connections or trillions of texts was tempting, but would be outdated before the book went to press. A personal anecdote about the ubiquity of social and mobile media in everyday life would be in the spirit of the book, but I figured no one who had not already noticed this on their own would need it described for them. I needed something else.
