If Software Is Eating the World, What Will Come Out the Other End?

���So far, it’s mostly shit,��� wrotes John Battelle suggesting that there’s a world beyond the optimization and efficiency so cherished by the would-be disrupters:

But the world is not just software. The world is physics,
it���s crying babies and shit on the sidewalk, it���s opioids
and ecstasy, it���s car crashes and Senate hearings,
lovers and philosophers, lost opportunities and spinning
planets around untold stars. The world is still real.
Software hasn���t eaten it as much as bound it in a spell,
temporarily I hope, while we figure out what comes
next.
