In September 1999 I was blogging about Tom Stoppard, techno-utopianism, voice-recognition software, and Edgar Rice Burroughs

Dennis G. Jerz / 14 Sep 2019

In September 1999, I was blogging about

  • What makes a play worth seeing twice, according to Tom Stoppard
  • The then-unrealistic expectations of voice-recognition software
  • A critique of the “information wants to be free” mantra
  • A Microsoft exec who predicted that digital publication would eclipse print publication within a decade
  • How marketers are pushing your buttons with the help of technology and semiotic theory
  • The storytelling genius and embedded racism of Edgar Rice Burroughs
