Various disconnected thoughts on Last Boost:
- "private government" is a really good way of phrasing it, and I should look for more work by people using that framework
- her definition of freedom puts, arguably, datakraken/big-data assembling of targetted profiles as a direct attack on people's freedom to be themselves.
(- Also don't think I didn't notice, New Yorker, how you so carefully tip-toed around ever using any pronouns at all for her gemderqueer kid. I SAW that.)
