...feel like I’ve lived there forever. Any Matherites reading this are probably scandalized at this point, but Jerk-land honestly isn’t half bad. Harvard housing made me realize once and for all that I’m an experience addict. Many have said that since randomization went into effect, the Houses no longer each have a distinct character. If you are inclined to believe this, then perhaps you haven’t lived in three of them. Looking back, each House felt in a certain sense like going to a separate school?...
...highlighting the consequences of a technology-based childhood. Much of the film is devoted to Harris’ upbringing and his relationship with his mother, whom he refused to see even on her deathbed.

Throughout the city, pockets of grimy, small, privately owned apartments are partitioned into about 10 cubicle dwellings, many with a shared toilet and shower in the corner. Most residents are the working poor, others are mentally ill, elderly, children and the occasional drug addict. Beyond the dwellings' crushingly small size, residents must battle poor hygiene, exposure to electrical wires and heat during the extremely humid summer months. It's difficult to pinpoint an accurate number of people living in conditions like Lau's because many live in private tenements, but social workers estimate at least...
