...rising prominence of Future Systems is one more sign of the remarkable shift in architectural taste over the past decade. One of these days someone will write a revisionist history of 20th century architecture that will trace the survival of a line. I don't mean a bloodline.

Someone professorial-looking reminds him that two divided by three is “666—the sign of the devil.” Last time I checked, two divided by three was .6 repeating. I didn’t know Satan had an infinitely long string of decimals for his sign! Good for Satan! Soon, our hero is linking everything (Hiroshima, his birthday, things he sees...
