Can we please fast-forward to a post-AI, post-billionaires, post-surveillance, post-war age?

I have recently been told that a previous employer had found me to be complicated, difficult, and hard to work with. What a pleasant surprise! Being considered a good fit for the corporate world would really have saddened my heart.

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt So the jobs of the VP and CFO were useless to begin with? I'm not surprised.

I have translated (with some liberties) my 1987 short novel Star Tramp. It features a simple-minded, action-packed plot and a pretty unlikable main character. Most people who read it did not enjoy it (but some did).
I may or may not (re)publish it this year.
