Michael Lewis Interview
from the the-internet-is-good dept
We've posted two NY Times articles by Michael Lewis in the past six months (one about the kid who made a ton of money as a stock scammer and another yesterday about the kid who pretended to be a lawyer online). Both of these stories are apparently from his latest book, called Next: The Future Just Happened. Salon is now running an interview with Michael Lewis about the book. It's pretty interesting, in that he discusses how the internet is changing so much. Family structures and corporate structures all are being changed by the internet - and he considers this all to be good. I never read his last book, The New New Thing because it seemed too focused on the "cult" of Jim Clark, which I'm not particularly interested in (though I have always liked his writing style). This new book, however, looks like it's more about looking into ideas, and how the internet changes things - which is much more intriguing to me.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
