This Is Your Life in Silicon Valley

19th August 2016

Read it.

One of the best send-ups of SWPL life I’ve ever read.

Your wifi enabled coffee maker downloads the perfect instructions to brew a cup of Blue Bottle?—?and you don’t have to do anything. The Roomba purrs in the background while you continue to read from your smartphone. You see a few articles about Trump and how crazy he is?—?somehow this comforts you.

You decide to share an article about Brexit from The Atlantic, which will somehow shed light to all your friends as to why it happened. The article is 1,000 words long?—?you only read half of it, but that’s good enough. It captures all the arguments you’ve been wanting to make for the past two months to your friends. Will this be the Facebook post that finally spurns your friends into action? You realize your Facebook friends all agree with your political views and social views already.
