@CZEdwards Vernor Vinge wrote "True Names" in 1981 because this debate was *Big* then.

This is a really fun (if you have a place for Stephenson's sense of humor) read. Is a great companion book to Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry for the Future. Read these two books, and you'll be more up to speed than 90% of those setting policy https://t.co/VIn82qSgNo

I -admittedly, to my shame- oft feel a mental eye-roll when i see a link to a nyt opinion piece on anything to do with cars, transportation policy, or related. this one, by nyu profs Andrew Ross & Julie Livingston, co-authors of "Cars and Jails" is quite on-the-nose. https://t.co/pFlUCUxkRw

@doctorow 's Red Team Blues. finished 2nd read at a relaxed pace & chewed on the hard parts (some of the math) i skimmed on the 1st read. This would be a great noir radio drama! "Marty Hench, Forensic Accountant" like "Your's Truly, Johnny Dollar" shame that art form is dead https://t.co/cLLoXSWEH1
