“From silt casts of our bones potential palaeontologists may someday infer the genealogy of our age, though not the suffering of its inhabitants. From the archived bits of paper we produced as a byproduct of continued existence potential archaeologists may someday infer what we did and where we did it, thought not why. From the whiteness of our teeth and the distance between them, a cashier may infer the extent of our means, though not the ways in which they came to be considered ours. And what can we know about someone besides what they do, anyway?”
