It Is Impossible To Work In Information

Criticism Is Always Easier Than Constructive Solutions.

Siren Servers Are Narcissists; Blind To Where Value Comes From, Including The Web Of Global Interdependence That Is At The Core Of Their Own Value.

Digital Technologies Are Setting Down The New Grooves Of How People Live, How We Do Business, How We Do Everything--and They're Doing It According To The Expectations Of Foolish Utopian Scenarios. We Want Free Online Experiences So Badly That We Are Happy To Not Be Paid For Information That Comes From Us Now Or Ever. That Sensibility Also Implies That The More Dominant Information Becomes In Our Economy, The Less Most Of Us Will Be Worth.

Once You Can Understand Something In A Way That You Can Shove It Into A Computer, You Have Cracked Its Code, Transcended Any Particularity It Might Have At A Given Time. It Was As If We Had Become The Gods Of Vision And Had Effectively Created All Possible Images, For They Would Merely Be Reshufflings Of The Bits In The Computers We Had Before Us, Completely Under Our Command.

Musicians And Journalists Are The Canaries In The Coalmine, But, Eventually, As Computers Get More And More Powerful, It Will Kill Off All Middle-class Professions.
