It was a short story, not a whole book. The idea was that physics still applied; you just experienced seconds as hours (And yes; I hear that's what Ecstasy does, too. :), so communication was not possible.Basically, I think it was a metaphor for what we do with iPods, mobile phones etc. today: Everyone in a luxury bubble, voluntarily isolated from each other. I'm no Luddite, it was just a well-written story about technology isolating people from each other.

Wow that's funny, I have noticed that too... even songs I have never played before I can seem to slow down and do it fairly accurately.

I personally would like too learn how too do this ability so then i can control the circumstances in my life or how too react too something faster like if you trip or if someone falls, if u think about it u could use your ability in the army too get better accuracy and avoid something faster like a bullet or something or maby for younger people like a game of Dodge Ball
