“Letter to a Stranger: Essays to the Ones Who Haunt Us” edited by Colleen Kinder (Algonquin)If you’ve ever purposely gone down the Craigslist Missed Connections rabbit hole, “Letter to a Stranger″ is for you. Sometimes it’s sweet, sometimes funny, sometimes just weird.“Letter to a Stranger” is a collection of vignettes by writers who all share one thing in common: an experience with a stranger that they just can't shake.The book’s introduction starts by explaining, "All writers have a peculiar devotion to strangers.” Colleen Kinder’s curated collection displays that devotion — a special kind of extroverted, artistic pull that makes even the introvert capable of fooling someone into thinking they are the most people-y of people persons.This artistic nature is evident in the latent poetry in each letter’s prose, refreshingly unique in voice from one to the next but all sharing a lyrical quality.Though it reads like the series of letters the title promises, “Letter to a Stranger” is akin to a travel book.

Netflix has announced plans to test a feature which would charge people for sharing accounts outside their household.As revealed in a blog post, the test will roll out in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru over the next few weeks. During the test, subscribers will be able to add sub accounts for up to two people they don’t live with at the price of $2.97 in Chile, $2.99 in Costa Rica and around $2.11 in Peru.A statement from Netflix’s director of product innovation, Chengyi Long, reads: “We’ve always made it easy for people who live together to share their Netflix account, with features like separate profiles and multiple streams in our Standard and Premium plans.“While these have been hugely popular, they have also created some confusion about when and how Netflix can be shared.

Netflix is set to begin charging users more if they share their account with other households. The popular streaming platform is thought to be currently testing technology which will see subscribers pay an extra fee if there are others at different addresses using the account at the same time.

to crack down on rampant password sharing, the California-based streaming giant unveiled plans to charge primary account holders extra for users outside their households.“For the last year, we’ve been working on ways to enable members who share outside their household to do so easily and securely, while also paying a bit more,” Chengyi Long, Netflix’s director of product innovation, wrote in a blog post.The streamer had previously ignored extra-familial account sharing despite banning the rampant practice (sharing among those who live in the same household is still permitted). However, they decided to make a change after deeming that “impacted our ability to invest in great new TV and films for our members.”Now, the company is testing a new feature in Chile, Peru and Costa Rica that allows Standard and Premium plan holders “to add sub-accounts for up to two people they don’t live with — each with their own profile, personalized recommendations, login and password,” per the site.

Netflix is testing an extra fee for subscribers to share their login credentials outside of their own households.

The new options will roll out in the next few weeks in the three countries (and may or may not expand beyond those markets).
