”Y2K: How the 2000s Became Everything,” By Colette Shade. Publisher: Dey Street. 229 pages. $29.99The cover of Colette Shade’s “Y2K: How the 2000s Became Everything” is bedazzled with bubbles straight out of VH1’s “Pop Up Video” series from the era.

Writers are elusive creatures. For all the thousands and thousands of words they publish—describing, at length, what they see in the world—we readers can’t seem to leave well enough alone. We gulp down interviews and profiles, attend readings and talks, and watch documentaries and biopics—we always want more. Why do writers fascinate us? What more do we truly want from them?
