Winifred Gallagher knows about new, being a cutting-edge science writer and all. Her ne—uh, her latest book (which she’ll be reading from at Brookline Booksmith), New: Understanding Our Need For Novelty and Change, justifies our love of newness, and might even explain why our ex felt the need to “shake things up” and move to Morocco after five damn years together. Ahem. Now normally, this would be the part where we claim that Gallagher is really a robot, and that her idea of “new” is “new robot masters.” But we’re not going to do that this time. Wink.
