I just read Microserfs by Douglas Coupland, a book written in 1995 that is something of a precursor style-wise to blogs (especially tech/tech-adjacent blogs). It seems tech companies and startups today have a lot of the same problems/concerns as 30 years ago! Anyway, it made me think a lot about the future - hence, quite a few forward looking articles this week… 🔮 

And even if it’s not sooo deep - it’s still a very fun book that’s full of (probably correct) quotes like “One psycho for every nine stable people in the company is a good ratio.” :)
