The Mezzanine by Nicholas Baker

"As I walked out of the office supply store, I became aware of the power all these individual, simultaneously pending
transactions: all over the city, and at selected sites in other states, events were being set in motion on my behalf, services were being performed, simply because I had requested them and in some other cases
paid or agreed to pay later for them"
All of this and more i could get the world to do for me, and at the same time all of it was going on, i could wlak down the street
, unburdened with the niceties of the individual tasks, living my life"
