In the universe of my imagination, short communication doesn't stop with text messaging and tweets. It continues to the cloud of network names that you can only see by trying to connect to wifi in assorted locations around Chicago.
Fictional neighbors in apartment buildings are talking to each other. They argue. They advise. They complain. All this takes place on the available wifi networks screens on their computers, tablets, and smartphones.
Please join me as I visit them on my completely made-up journey.
