Mehso-so

A tale from the usual outsider/insider pov set at various tech companies. Many worthy questions are explored - such as what it‘s like working with ephemeral assets day in and day out. Or the toll paid by those charged with erasing the hate that is thrown up on the internet. Or the brain drain that is Silicon Valley. And yet I can‘t tell you that you learn much that‘s new. Comparisons are being made to Joan Didion‘s work. But I couldn‘t get there.
