'Siri, what's the meaning of life?' How my phone became my closest confidante

It's three in the morning and my room is bathed in the glow of my phone. Like one in three people, I check my smartphone when I wake up in the middle of the night. I can't sleep and so wander from one social-media app to another, my thumbs scrolling through what feels like miles of emptiness. "Siri, what is the meaning of life?" "I have stopped asking myself this kind of question," she answers. I ask again, because I like it better when she says "nothing Niestzche wouldn't teach you".
