Annotation

The story is set in a city that has replaced almost all work with temporary jobs offered through streaming, modeled on Spotify. All the stories in the book are responses to a recent book, A New City O/S: The Power of Open, Collaborative, and Distributed Government (Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2017), by Stephen Goldsmith and Neil Kleiman, that proposes, in the editors’ interpretation, that cities should act more like Amazon in dealing with their citizens.

Author Note

The author is an Assistant Professor of Geography at Trinity College, Dublin
