linked above is a story written by Bruce Sterling about what the world of teens will be like once we're able to get the internet (and meatspace) all nice and secure. kind of sobering. i still need to read MacBeth -- i'm amazed at how many good books i still have on my to-do list, and it keeps growing!

also it was oddly unnerving to see the smiths/morrissey lyrics modernized into 2020's parlance near the end of the piece.

also, near the end of the commentary, there's a link to some well-explained consideration of computer justice versus human justice.

lyrics:

No water well in sight
No water at my sides
I'm sucking on the well
I'm sucking 'till I'm white
