I don't know! But I'm thrilled to tell you that Jaron Lanier's book is out, You are not a widget. Lanier coined the term "virtual reality." I read his essay, "The Serfdom of Crowds," in February's Harper's. His message: kill the hivemind. It's a real grumpy Guss look at social media and the degradation though which we put ourselves to share 140 char bits about ourselves.

Can't wait to read the book.
