It is an age-old question. So is Tradition vs. Technology. The question infiltrates our lives like shadows, always present, always acting on us whether we like it or not. Matthew Pearl, bestselling author of The Dante Club, has turned his eye toward the question too in The Technologists.

Wow. Where does the time go?), and one of the things that amuses me the most are the superstitions that players develop about their dice.
