2 essays "The Gilder Effect" (about George Gilder, who?) and Hard Core Bill Gates Microsoft vs the Government trial.. Interesting at the time (1998)...but pales in comparison to the tech-bros of our times. The only thing that kept me awake were the " Pre New Years " fireworks that are currently exploding in my neighbourhood! 2025......If ever there were a year whose end could not come soon enough, this was it.

Read 7/33 essays - Reading Malcolm Gladwell "Clicks and Morters" is like reading ancient history. MG delights in the benefits of e-commerce (barcodes, internet web stores, tracking packages) but still wants to highlight that 'people' are still necessary for business. Poor MG he did not see AI chat customer service, robotics in warehouses and...drones ...coming! Fun to look back to 1999, ancient history!

Read 4/33 essays:
The post enjoyable so far is Mark Singer's essay 1997 "Trump Solo". I had to laugh at one quote from Trump:
"Whatever complicates the world more, I do,”
Aint' that the truth!

Read: 2/33 essays and am impressed by Larissa Macfarqyhar! Staff writer at the New Yorker since 1998 and is known for her sharp, insightful profiles. She interviewed Jason Calcanis (Internet entrepreneur. I'd like to find her essays on Hilary Mantel and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in the magazine's archive. NETFLIX docs (2025) New Yorker 100 years is excellent!
