I used to live in Yaletown and while I was there I acquired the delusion (at least I think it was a delusion) that the majority of its inhabitants are in fact replicants or androids or some other kind of robot. You probably know what I am talking about. When it got to the point where I had the urge to go up to strangers in coffee shops and restaurants, grab them by the lapels, and ask “Are you real? Are you one of us?!” then I knew it was time to move away. All the same, sometimes I still wonder.
