Many wager that they stole the term from Neal Stephenson’s classic novel Snow Crash which itself was a fiction-shaped social commentary on the explosive expansion [&#8230;]]]></description>

But I&#8217;ve made a very deliberate decision to keep this space fairly free of politics and opinion that links (directly) back to those topics. That said, it&#8217;s election day in Canada and today the nation was off to the polls to [&#8230;]]]></description>
