PG used to write interesting essays, like the recently reposted one about programs you can keep in your head. His later work suffers in my estimation from being too obviously motivated. He’s trying to bend reality by convincing more kids to throw themselves into the startup furnace that fuels his wealth. “The very rich are no longer human” as William Gibson put it.
