s possible. That Cap’n Crunch thrill, the dream of whistling up control over the thick, helpless trunk of a network, that remains the dream. Remember Conway’s Law: The design and activity and control of a network redounds on, even determines the real world. If the whole network is, in a sense, filled with
for culture, it’s to the devious and unavoidable problem of global order I want to turn now. In a now-famous 1986 speech “You and Your Research”, the Bell Labs scientist Richard Hamming set three questions for anyone embarked on the exploration of new ideas: “1. What are the most important problems in your f
