Bullshit Jobs: A Theory
David Graeber
Douglas Adams is the gift that keeps on giving. When David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs came out, I thought of the Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B. Now when I read about NFTs, I think about those same Ark B folk and their decision to use leaves as currency https://t.co/vHV9m6ewjZ

The Sneetches: And Other Stories
Dr Seuss

A City Is Not a Computer: Other Urban Intelligences

Smart Cities, Bad Metaphors, and a Better Urban Future. A review of @shannonmattern’s new book: A City Is Not a Computer. On my reading list! https://www.wired.com/story/smart-cities-bad-metaphors-and-a-better-urban-future/ It is long past time to put the term "smart cities" to rest. Perhaps we can inter it alongside "dumb pipes".
