"Every year Bruce Sterling and Jon Lebkowsky conduct a public salon with
the users of The WELL on the "State of the World." It's always one of
the highlights of the new year for me, and this year (which Sterling
calls the first year in his life when it's "hard to find any genuine
technical novelty") is off to an especially chewy and interesting start."

Quote of note:
"Anything that American technology tries to pull in Europe has
Trump’s face stamped on it. Everyone just assumes it’s a lie, a
fraud, a subterfuge and a grift, and they’re gonna get rooked, if not
murdered by drones. So far, in response, they can riot or strike – in
France, for over a year now – but they can’t accomplish anything
administratively, because the entire political class and the
oligarchs have all bought into it." – Bruce Sterling
