I have a new story on The Huffington Post, just up today. Though people say technologies like online dating or IVF or C-sections unnaturally control things, the opposite is true. They open you to whole new levels of randomness, hazard, surprise and wonder. With IVF especially it felt like I spent a year at Reproductive Burning Man: with masses of people, piles of drugs, and anticipation of a final, cathartic event.
