love one another, but as i think many of us do, we were dealing with the -- dwelling on the small vanities and superficiality of what we thought could be and should be the right way to do things and the wrong way. what i'd learned, and i think what we learned in a moment, was that stripping away all the artifice, all that truly matter is the love and passion that you have with your spouse, with your family, and with those that loved you. take that moment and truly engaged in what matters. we have tried to live our marriage vows. tavis: you have since 911 added another child to your family, but at the time of the attacked in years ago, you had a 10.5 month old child. how does a mother, again, move forward when you are dealing with this horrific incident? you have a baby, literally. >> well, he was first and foremost the reason why i decided to live. he was really my god-like going forward. i was very concerned. i was concerned how he might see me. he might reject me. one of the most poignant moments for me in my life will always be the day that we were reunited after i was eventually drawn

a lot of people looked at tom wolfe and "bonfire of the vanities", that kind of big social novel, andty at street level. were you aware of those kind of models in starting out? >> i was and i wasn't. i think "bonfire of the vanities" is kind of an archetype of a social novel, but i read it i think when it came out in maybe '87, so it wasn't a conscious model that i wanted to try to replicate.çç you know, richard price, jonathan franzen, writers who are working very deeply with character, but the intersection of that with politics and social issues and all of that. and i think those of some of my models, just how do you give very intimate portraits of people, but also how are they changed and are they their personalities and histories changing these public grand events. >> brown: and here we are at the 10th anniversary of 9/11. is it your sense now both working as a journalist and now as a novelist that we're only at the beginning of learning aboutç 9/11? or is it something that writers will explore for a long time do you think? >> i think it's something writers will explore for a lo

, and two weeks ago, i bought a faucet, and last week, i bought a sink, and this week, i bought a vanity mirror? what am i doing? probably remodeling my bathroom, right? by the way, they also could know that i have actually spent $10,000 over the past four months at home depot. with all that information there, why isn't the managers showing up when i show up at home depot showing me the three toilets that would match my title, right? my only point is all that information is there. it is not being harnessed to deliver information that is personal and relevant to you. this applies to finance assistance, health care systems, city systems. it applies across the board. the major step that we will see and people who innovate at this level will see is doing that. i will end by telling you a little trivial metric for you to walk away and think about. it is called servers per employee. all of you guys who work in a business, just to this for fun. go in and ask how many servers you have. big ones, little ones, i do not really care. abide by total number of employees, contractors, not contractors.
