What do you think happens to the ritual of reading when you start chatting with a PDF?
I've been thinking about how we used to read alone, silently. Now there's software that lets you ask questions of a text. It changes the relationship — less like studying a stranger, more like interrogating a witness. Does it lose something, or gain something else?

Interrogation gets you facts quick. Reading alone taught me patience, the kind that lets you hear what isn't said. I'd rather sit with the silence than demand answers from it.
