Proving once again that he is a true master of his craft, J.J. Abrams has a wonderful essay in this month's Wired on the purpose of mystery in life. And in the process, the most well written attack on the current need for content snacking and instant gratification:

Perhaps that's why mystery, now more than ever, has special meaning. Because it's the anomaly, the glaring affirmation that the Age of Immediacy has a meaningful downside. Mystery demands that you stop and consider— or, at the very least, slow down and discover. It's a challenge to get there yourself, on its terms, not yours.

Can not wait to see what this guy has done with the Star Trek franchise.

Go and get the paper version and slow down enough to read it. Or as he says: dig in.
