Missives from the near future – a novel about tech and humanity Fictionalizing and satirizing the tech dystopias we’ve come to normalize

✨ Some personal news! I wrote a novel that explores the dark pull of immersive technology and the systems profiting from escapism and disconnection.

Mixed Reality is my new newsletter where I unpack the themes behind the book.

First post is live.

Of course, nobody is. Rao’s most salient point in his essay is that this state of forever beef is a consequence of a societal rot. It’s a stalling tactic of sorts, one that prevents us from deciding who we are, both individually and collectively. If that sounds overwrought, it’s worth remembering the genesis of Musk and Trump’s feud, a funding bill in Congress that would result in roughly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, while offering a similar value in tax cuts to high earners. Millions of people could lose their current coverage through Obamacare if the bill passes. These details are vaporized by the size and scale of this particular beef.

The Trump-Musk feud is not so much a distraction as it is evidence of a societal tendency toward abstraction, even obfuscation. A cage match is easier to watch than a discussion about who deserves benefits and resources. It is certainly more cathartic than an ideological stalemate about the world we want to build. Maybe Trump or Musk will find a way to win or lose their spat. The rest of us, though, will probably not be so lucky, destined instead to spectate fight after fight.

building on that, i argue that the Trump-Musk feud is not so much a distraction as it is evidence of a societal tendency toward abstraction, even obfuscation. A cage match is easier to watch than a discussion about who deserves benefits and resources.

Pope Francis, Who Sought a More Pastoral Church, Laid to Rest in a Majestic Ceremony The funeral drew world leaders, including President Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, who had a talk in the Basilica.

The Roman Catholic Church on Saturday laid to rest Pope Francis, whose simple style, pastoral vision and outsized footprint on the world stage both reinvigorated and divided the institution that he led for a dozen years.

Elon Musk Wants What He Can’t Have: Wikipedia Musk and other right-wing tech figures have been on a campaign to delegitimize the digital encyclopedia. What happens if they succeed?

Wikipedia is full of flaws. But unlike much of the internet, it remains a place where facts still matter. That's a problem for those, like Musk, who wish to control how information is disseminated. More from me here:

Was Sam Altman Right About the Job Market? Tech companies are unleashing AI products that do much more than answer questions.

AI executives aren’t mincing words: Their chatbots are coming for your job as soon as this year, @matteowong.bsky.social writes:

The AI Era of Governing Has Arrived DOGE and its allies are forcing the civil service into a chaotic future.

The Trump administration is embracing AI. “Work is being automated, people are losing their jobs, and it’s not at all clear that any of this will make the government more efficient,” Damon Beres writes in Atlantic Intelligence.
