The mobile screen becomes a movie theater Imagine a rush-hour subway car. Every other rider is staring downward, earbuds in, thumb flicking gently. Their screens are upright, not horizontal, and the stories they’re consuming are melodramas that might once have taken an evening: a woman meets a homeless man who turns out to be a billionaire; a werewolf pledges eternal …
