The Good Lion-like exhaust note • Gorgeous and premium exterior styling • Comfortable for a supercar The Bad Just slightly impersonal and robotic The Bottom Line Mercedes-AMG's new GT S might not set your heart alight like an Italian supercar but it'll garner the admiration of its drivers and make you feel like a driving god all the same.

One of the nation's most respected social researchers, Mr. Yankelovich devised innovative surveys of small representative groups not only to track American preferences in cars and toothpaste, but also to understand the values and goals of ordinary people — what made them feel moral, happy or fulfilled, or miserable and marginalized in an affluent but impersonal society.

This latest Alexa-enabled incarnation means Amazon is no longer primarily a vast, impersonal warehouse that has to be manually data-mined to unearth threads you want to buy; rather it becomes a style destination in its own right; an app that's savvy about fashion trends and understands personal taste so it can do the leg work and shop for you.

A well-done revenge movie with a stylized sheen and a literary gloss, Nocturnal Animals stars Amy Adams as Susan, who is living the high life as an art gallery owner with a picture-perfect husband (Armie Hammer, disarmingly handsome), when one day a chilling manuscript from her ex-husband Edward (Jake Gyllenhaal) shows up at her cold, impersonal fortress of a home.

Wrote Chicago Reader's Jonathan Rosenbaum of the full trilogy in 1998: All three works are sustained meditations on singular landscapes and the way ordinary people live in them; obsessional quests that take on the contours of parables; concentrated inquiries that raise more questions than they answer; and comic as well as cosmic poems about dealing with personal and impersonal disaster.

Yet even as he projected an impersonal contempt for work, much is evidenced in his meticulously worked and reworked manuscript of The Importance of Being Earnest (a satire of the manners of Victorian high society that revolves around two dandies in love with Gwendolen and Cecily, each of whom in turn is determined to marry an elusive man named Ernest).

Certain recurring details became focal points: as the fire spreads, you want to find out what happens to the generic paintings of a sailing ship (which is odd and oddly impersonal) and autumn landscape; the pile of orange extension cords; the dozens of covered plastic cups with straws sticking out of them; the toy trucks and stuffed animals; the dropped ceiling and faux period furniture.

Scenes from Laurence Olivier's screen adaptation of the play flicker into view now and then, enriching both the psychological and the visual texture of "Wormwood" (and providing, along with the Book of Revelation, a source for its title.) This is, like "Hamlet," a tragedy at once public and intimate, an examination of how the impersonal violence of the state can damage and distort individual lives.

At least, that seems to be the conceptual conceit of a Buffalo, New York memorial installed in 1983, apparently intended to recognize civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The eight-foot-bronze monument, created by artist John Woodrow Wilson, is a giant, terrifying, matte black head that overlooks MLK Park, and has been the subject of a recent attempt to create something a little less … impersonal.

The uncomfortable truth about the Trump campaign is that, like the Brexit campaign, it is perfectly timed to ride a mood of popular revolt — against neoliberal economics, against the bankers who emerged with impunity from the 2008 financial meltdown, against what Farage called "global corporatism," against seemingly uncontrolled immigration, and against the politicians behind growing workplace precariousness and a pervasive sense of personal control lost to impersonal forces.

It suggests that perhaps Sontag's urge to keep her personal body out of the body of her work—to withhold her cancerous body, her queer body, her frail and desiring and deeply human body—was not simply another attempt to kill off "Sue," the weak and needy inner child, but an attempt to replace an unserious "female" voice (personal, confessional, emotional) with the authority of a "male" one (impersonal, clinical, intellectual).

There's something mildly impersonal about this; whereas Peloton shines in the instructors bringing the boutique workout experience into your home by engaging personally with students, talking about their day, cracking jokes, or even pushing themselves to the point where they're as out of breath as you are, the Tonal classes feel a bit robotic and rehearsed to the point where some of the script come across as cringeworthy.
