A MODERN-DAY GHOSTBUSTER

Untrammeled spirits and demons exist all around us. The signs we once depended upon may have changed—no sepulchral wail arising from the inside of a wall, no red eyes hovering above scimitars of teeth, no sulfuric malodor and a sudden heat around the head. But new indications have arisen. Your phone and computer pitch them toward you with regularity. We need only observe the never-ending stream of unsolicited opinion, reflexive outrage, news that is not, promotional messages that in comparison with the rest seem almost genteel. This is what, as a modern-day Ghostbuster, I can tell you.
