I was mad. Mad that tech entrepreneurs like him seemed constitutionally unable to resist cannibalizing music, books, subcultures—whatever made life interesting. Reading wasn’t about mainlining information. The tech industry’s efficiency fetish was so dreary. Don’t encourage your claque, I thought. I took a screenshot of his post, and shared it with a little editorialization: Tech needs to stop trying to ruin everything I love, I sniped.
