Summary
"'You’re like a computer,' Ami's teachers and classmates would say to her, and she heard echoes of her inhumanity — her clunkiness, her coldness, her lack of social ease."
With the rise of the computer in the 1990s, Ami's remarkable intelligence is inevitably compared to a machine that can calculate anything. But is that a gift or a curse?

Summary
“When Shiv is thirteen, she cuts off all her hair in the bathroom sink. After dinner, she takes her mother’s fabric shears (which is a joke in itself, as if Caroline would spend her time pleating and ruching and creating- she owns no sewing machine, no spools of thread, just the shears) and locks the door behind her.
A month later, she has to choose between her mother and her father. It’s not a hard choice to make.“ -

Summary
Through the death note, Light feels a connection to self and reality for the first time. And yet, something Light can't quite name remains missing. But perhaps the death note can provide a solution to that, as well.
---------
"Light flipped through page after page, feeling over carefully penned characters; feeling a liveliness and connection to hands, pen, and book that was both foreign and welcome. The realness of the book’s power- now Light’s power- brought a tangibility to everything it interacted with.
If killing people with a swipe of a pen was possible, what else was possible? Becoming something better, perhaps?”
