Almost all the work will go online, and we'll be caught in a global arbitrage of skills. Plumbers are exempt, but then "even plumbers need accountants." Apparently, from Bangladesh.

Interesting, provocative, inevitable. The most interesting thing may be that we're doing this with laws and social customs that date from a time when there was nothing like this around. You know, 20 years ago.

Why Israel votes for Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest, and you shouldn't look at pictures with "San Jose" in the caption. But why do traffic jams slow up traffic ahead of themselves?

This was an exceptional read, a great tale of an adolescent's (and everybody's) perpetual indeterminacy and emergence in a tech age. Plus my kid started reading it over my shoulder, was captivated by the narrator's voice, and borrowed it when I was done.
