too cheap or too complicated …

August 26, 2006

Time for my quarterly blog post.

Found this nice line whilst rereading The Star Fraction recently. For those who haven’t read it, the J in question had previously worked the financial markets online: ‘Jordan had never realized before how vast and diverse was the invisible army of men and women whose labour was too cheap or too complicated to automate, but which made the kind of work he was familiar with possible.’

There were of course a number of other things I wanted to note, but they seemed to have slipped the tether now that I’m actually typing this. Ho hum, will try harder next time.
