DERY: I'm fascinated by this idea that JetBlue could be transformative. Weren't we supposed to be celebrating the death of geography right about now? According to the last wave of techno-hype, in the newtopian '90s, we were supposed to be swirling clouds of data bits, teleporting from one point to another through fiber-optic cables...

The music is not the techno pop blasting all night from most DJs' turntables across Beirut, but the nationalist crooning of wartime stars like Fayrouz...
