Ever since humans lost most of their body hair, we've been looking for warmth, in hundreds of ways, to solve our cold.
We'll look for her when we get home tonight and turn up our central heating thermostat. We look for her when we get dressed in the morning, or undress under the down of the night.
We're looking for her in the shower. In someone else's skin. In the food that is grown with sweat, prepared with fire, and burned with hunger. We look for her in factories and in power stations. Where the heat of smoldering coals and fission cores is driven up and energized. Which in turn causes our homes and universities, our airports, concert halls and hospitals, to be lit bright white, shining like twinkling stars against the blue-black face of the night. But what if the solution becomes the new problem? What if the warmth we so desire becomes sweltering, suffocating?
