Zach — thanks for your talk last night! It was *very* stimulating!

BTW, your concept of coercive abstractions reminded me of some similar ideas in You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier, a book that despite some flaws has stuck with me long since I read it. If you're interested I'd be happy to dig up the relevant passages.

Thanks!
Avi

Hi, sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, I've read a bit by Lanier but not that particular book.  I'd be happy to read any excerpts you can dig up.
