After high school, I was able to seek out friends who had similar interests and ambitions instead of those who happened to live a bikeable distance away. And yet, as the new book Connected by Nicholas A. Christakis and James H. Fowler shows, we actually do choose our friends through proximity and shared activity. Sure, I might now select a slightly different mix from the J.P. Stevens pool - especially if you threw some Indians, black...
