Decades ago, a young man named Jeffery Jacob Abrams purchased a mysterious package from Lou Tannen’s Magic Shop in New York. The box is modest in size and appearance, covered in a plain wrapping, and marked with a large black question mark. With this simple object in the back of his mind, Abrams would one day become one of the most imaginative and successful auteurs in the television and film industries. Millions of viewers soon discovered their own personal box of infinite mystery, the television show Lost. Abrams claims that he will never open his mysterious package: "It represents infinite possibility; it represents hope; it represents potential... mystery is the catalyst for imagination... maybe there are times where mystery is more important than knowledge."
