In between the obligatory Star Trek and tennis references, Zafra gives several history lessons on how technology has changed rapidly in the past 20 years or so ("Life Before Google", "Ode to the Walkman", "Requiem for the Compact Disc") while discussing her own adventures in adapting to new technologies such as digital cameras, 1-terabyte hard drives and the new MacBook Air. Like a good episode of David Letterman, we know we're going to get intelligent conversation whatever Jessica chooses to tackle in her columns. Anyone who's read Zafra's past books knows the drill by now. Clocking in at a thin 112 pages, Twisted 8 1/2 collects 27 of Jessica's "Emotional Weather Report" columns for The Philippine Star. Browsing through the latest bestsellers at a National Bookstore near the office, I was pleasantly surprised to see the latest Twisted volume from that perennial doyenne of acerbic wit, Jessica Zafra.
