Always a pleasure to read Douglas Adams. As usual an engaging and insightful read. I’d be curious to know what his thoughts would have been on the current state of online ads, social networks (engineering?), and NTFs. I suppose they all pop out as derivatives of the main point of the article, that new things often come from realising old limitations no longer apply.

There must be a metaphor here for NFTs getting dropped into the total perspective vortex and coming out smiling
'Let us now bow our heads in payment'.

And that was 1980! He was decades ahead.
