Currently reading: Emergence by Steven Johnson 📚

The trouble with being a futurist:

“But TiVo and Replay — and their descendants — will also fall under the sway of self-organization. In five years, not only will every television set come with a digital hard drive — all those devices will also be connected via the Web to elaborate, Slashdot-style filtered communities.”

Written in 2000, this book has occasional wistful fairy tales that (unfortunately for us) didn’t come to pass.
