Money is Broken

Jane McGonigal is about to give a talk have a conversation about her new book (Reality is Broken, available in fine bookstores everywhere, as well as my hot little hands).

The CHM is ridiculous.  Mountain View contains concentrations of wealth that I have not encountered anywhere in my life, and that includes, say, the Hearst Mansion, or the mansions of those latter-day Hearsts who populate Highway 1 between Cambria and Monterey.  Imagine what sort of museum such people would make about the field that curls so closely about their hearts.

I saw perhaps a quarter of it in two hours.  Slide-rules, abaci, punch-cards, a bit of COLOSSUS.  I will have to come back.  Possibly I will have to become a member.
