The Jungle. By Upton Sinclair.
It’s Chicago, almost to the start of the 20th century, and you’re a brand new Lithuanian immigrant trying to support a new wife, child, and relatives by working in the stockyards, but the system is structured to wear you down, trap you in poverty, and when things are worst, replace you with new immigrants.

Things on my writing #ToDoList that have been for multiple years:
- #Levers vs #Microscopes, and different types of technologies that augment #labor
- Work worth NOT doing, and frameworks for determining whether other people’s buy-in and #consent should be needed for a person to do something (have #agency)
- There are #RebelsInTheDeathStar (this has probably been 10 years on the to-do list 🫠)
- It isn’t dead, yet, but #PrivacyIsInHospice
- The #FunEconomy, and new modes of measuring progress
