GETTING THERE The science of driving directions by Nick Paumgarten earned an immediate printing, because (a) it’s 10 pages long in the printer-friendly version and I can’t sit in this chair and stare at this screen any longer and (b) it’s about maps and (c) it’s The New Yorker, whose deep dives are always worth a read if you enjoy the subject.
All this before I read the article. Good night!
UPDATE: Worth the paper, although a bit too circular to feel like John McPhee, who might have taken up such a topic in these pages in the past.
