Creating Jobs...

Who says technology doesn't create jobs? In addition to learning to code, here are a couple other jobs in our current bleak cyberpunk dystopia that only William Gibson could have foreseen:
  • Amazon Arbitrageur: Apparently there are people who make a living driving around to big box stores, emptying out the deep discount clearance shelves, and then re-selling the stuff at a markup as Amazon sellers.

  • Instagram Influencer: In the world of Count Zero, Tally Isham was a Sense/Net star who traveled the world, having soap opera adventures in exciting places that her followers could experience through her Zeiss Ikon eye implants. In the world of This Current Year, Meghan Young travels the world and climbs mountains in exotic locations, which her followers can experience through her Canon DSLR and her iPhone.
