Thanks for reviewing the opening chapter of "Quibble," Derek, even if you laser-burned it to a pile of cinders with critical snark! I roared with laughter, reading this. It's so much better to get your writing ripped apart by someone with stylistic panache and a sense of humor!

Hey, thanks! I'm glad I wasn't the only one to have "adhocracy" resonate. It just kinda hit me right away that this is how things are, and it's better to use that term to think about the world.

This is an earnest question: where do you find the time to read all of this and then write about it??

I'm too busy to write but not to busy to read I whip out the phone and send notes to myself. When I finally get a chance to write it all comes out at a furious pace since I already have a picture in my head.

Officially I only have about 2.5 hours a day 5 or 6 days a week to wrtie but in reality I spend twice that time doing writing with phone time.
