John Lanchester:

The world is full of priesthoods. Incomprehension is a form of consent.

What's the story behind the evident story?

Ira Glass:

Don't wait till you're older, or in some better job than you have now. Don't wait for anything. Don't wait till some magical story idea drops into your lap. That's not where ideas come from. Go looking for an idea and it'll show up. Begin now. Be a fucking soldier about it and be tough.

Michael Weber:

Magic is not about someone else sharing the newest secret. Magic is about working hard to discover a secret and making something out of it.

Roger Cohen:

Optimism is irrepressible in the human heart -- and best mistrusted. Our world of hyperconnectivity, and the strains and aspirations that accompany it, is not so novel after all. The ghosts of repetition reside alongside the prophets of progress.

Ben Thompson:

If all you want to do is develop and make something beautiful, then you need to get a job that will pay you to do that.

Ian Bogost:

MagicBands offer a kind of data tourism, an uncanny experience of a future in which we don't just tolerate surveillance but openly embrace it as fashion.

Dataland offers a space that invites us to wonder: what if more of our information relationships took place out in the open?

Perhaps this is all we really want: to participate in the fantasy of the future, to be invited to ponder and respond to it ourselves, rather than to be presented with it already formed.

Frank Chimero:

People don't have to leave what they know to start fixing what's wrong. They can start where they are.
