"The acclaimed editor of The New York Times Book Review takes readers on a nostalgic tour of the pre-Internet age, offering powerful insights into both the profound and the seemingly trivial things we've lost. Remember all those ingrained habits, cherished ideas, beloved objects, and stubborn preferences from the pre-Internet age? They're gone. To some of those things we can say good riddance. But many we miss terribly. Whatever our emotional response to this departed realm, we are faced with the fact that nearly every aspect of modern life now takes place in filtered, isolated corners of cyberspace-a space that has slowly subsumed our physical habitats, replacing or transforming the office, our local library, a favorite bar, the movie theater, and the coffee shop where people met one another's gaze from across the room. Even as we've gained the ability to gather without leaving our house, many of the fundamentally human experiences that have sustained us have disappeared. In one hundred glimpses of that pre-Internet world, Pamela Paul, editor of The New York Times Book Review, presents a captivating record, enlivened with illustrations, of the world before cyberspace-from voicemails to blind dates to punctuation to civility. There are the small losses: postcards, the blessings of an adolescence largely spared of documentation, the Rolodex, and the genuine surprises at high school reunions. But there are larger repercussions, too: weaker memories, the inability to entertain oneself, and the utter demolition of privacy. 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is at once an evocative swan song for a disappearing era and, perhaps, a guide to reclaiming just a little bit more of the world IRL"--

Nice support but...
Size: 42DDD, Color: Black
I ordered this for my cousin who finds it very difficult to find bras in her size. She told me she wished she could find a good support bra without the wire because she had deep red marks under her old bra so I did some research and found this bra. She came over and tried it on and my first impression was WOW the support is great but it was very difficult for her to fasten all the hooks in the front due to her long nails. After some time she managed to fasten all the hooks and I noticed I needed to adjust the straps for her and she said it felt a lot better. This wireless bra looks so different on a woman with large breasts than the models in the picture, my cousin's cleavage was very substantial, unlike the model in the pic so if you are heavy set with large breasts, just know you will still have ample cleavage showing. After she put her top back on I noticed just how smooth her back looked, there were no bulges showing and she told me she felt like her posture was better due to the support of this bra. I have four stars due to the hooks being difficult to fasten.

You get what you pay for
Size: 54C, Color: Black
It's really nice n a great bra until u realize that the straps also have hooks, n the hooks keep coming undone n your boobs hanging out. Beware ladies you have to be big n also tall to wear this if not prepare n don't keep your important things in your bra bc if you're like me, u wanna keep the important things close to u. You will lose everything and not even realize it

Works for me!
Size: 44DD, Color: French Blue Lace
This is a great bra for large breasts. Fits well and straps are nice. No major issues with fit or style. I do wish they had a few more colors though.
