It is easy to put off, yet it has to be done. Defer now, regret later. Neglect kills. What to do? Here’s a suggestion: Soften the paradox, and the misbehavior it encourages, by expanding the term “maintenance” beyond referring only to preventive maintenance to stave off the trauma of repair—brushing the damn teeth, etc. Let “maintenance” mean the whole grand process of keeping a thing going. Ultimately, alas, the book doesn’t really expand on this suggestion. While the volume feels rich and dense in some ways – illustrations, extra commentary, highlights – its surface area ultimately appears to be rather shallow. Ironically, given the subject matter, it feels like Brand fell prey to a bunch of “sexy” stories, some of them only tangentially related to maintenance. I will just say it: I wish the author was more woke. The book is very male-coded. The main chosen areas of investigation are: motorcycles! tanks! guns! wars! There are moments towards the end where Elon Musk and Bill Gates are talked about as if it was still 15 years ago and we haven’t actually learned anything since. (No word of Cybertruck, either.) We know maintenance tends to be unrewarded and forgotten come promotion time. We know that tedious tasks are often assigned to women and people of color while white men go around doing “genius things.” It’s hard to imagine women not being present in a book about maintenance, and yet – and I wish I was joking – the only woman of any significance in the entire book is… The Statue Of Liberty. That aside, before opening the book, I hoped it would provide me some vocabulary and evolved thinking about maintenance that I could put to use, and there are some moments where it almost approaches what I wanted from it. Here’s a passage:
Powell credits the Israeli military with a mindset that naturally viewed damaged tanks as soon-to-be-repaired tanks, rather than the irredeemable flotsam of battle. The fact that [Israeli] commanders thought in these terms gave purpose and direction to the maintenance-related technical and tactical skill their crews possessed.
This is fascinating. Tell me how? Tell me what was needed to make it happen? But, unfortunately, outside of some basic tenets of “give the rank and file more freedom to do things” and “embrace improvisation,” the book doesn’t seem to offer more. Elsewhere, there is this quote:
In almost every plant I worked at, QA was seen as a hindrance to hitting productivity metrics. We never got credit for a well-maintained manufacturing capability, but QA almost always got blamed when things went wrong.
…which, again, felt like a fascinating thread to pull on. But instead of digging deeper, this is left hanging without investigation. The book doesn’t really have a proper ending with synthesis of what came before, and generally meanders a lot – to a point that the table of contents has more “digressions” than actual subjects. It also feels occasionally rambling and occasionally showing off (name-dropping people like Kevin Kelly and Freeman Dyson, or quotes from “beta-tester” readers that mostly serve to paint Brand in a positive light), which takes away from otherwise brisk writing and at times truly excellent storytelling. (The first chapter in particular is fantastic.) If you want an easy-to-read, breezy, well-typeset book filled with historical anecdotes, and the above caveats do not bother you, this might be a fun read! But I expected more from it. The one place where the book shines is pointing people toward other books – there are pages that feel more like literature review (done really well!), and the end matter has bibliography and recommended reading with notes. So in that way, while disappointing in and of itself, it could also become an interesting starting off point for more research." [See also: https://kottke.org/26/04/stewart-brand-maintenance "I was thankful to read Marcin Wichary’s review of Stewart Brand’s Maintenance: Of Everything. I first heard about the book months and months ago; it sounded potentially interesting but I was afraid it was going to suffer from a now-familiar myopia of the “tech” old guard. Wichary writes:
I will just say it: I wish the author was more woke. The book is very male-coded. The main chosen areas of investigation are: motorcycles! tanks! guns! wars! There are moments towards the end where Elon Musk and Bill Gates are talked about as if it was still 15 years ago and we haven’t actually learned anything since. (No word of Cybertruck, either.)

Oof. Yeah. Writing a book with that title (and its attendant aspirations) while ignoring the expertise and experiences of the vast majority of the world’s population (and more than half of the US population) is just not good enough at this point. It’s lazy and incurious, especially for an author frequently lauded as the opposite of both. (Bit of a sharp turn perhaps, but a recent contrast to Brand’s approach is the PBS series The American Revolution, directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein, and David Schmidt. Instead of yet another retelling of the Revolutionary War focused on battles, Founding Fathers, and heroic tales of the good guys, Burns and his team drew from a broader pool of participants (many voices of women, free & enslaved Black people, Native Americans, etc.) and emphasized the extent to which the Revolution was many different things to many different people: a fight for freedom, a campaign to continue the enslavement of Black people, a cover for raping & pillaging, and the birth of a new colonizing nation. The result was a balanced, truthful, and insightful look at the war, an event that should be reckoned with at least as much as it’s celebrated.)" and Take this as you will, but I asked Claude if Brand had written substantively about women during his career and it responded:
Based on my research, here's what I can tell you about when Stewart Brand has written substantively about women across his books and magazine work. The short answer is: remarkably rarely, and this absence has itself become a subject of scholarly attention.

For all its boons, the industrial era itself brought about an endemic boredom peculiar to the division of labour, the distancing of production from consumption, and the rationalisation of working activity to maximise output. My point is not that we should return to some romanticised preindustrial past: I mean only to draw attention to contradictions that still shape our post-industrial present. The physical violence of the 19th-century factory might be gone, at least in the countries where industrialisation began, but the alienation inherent in these ways of organising work remains. When the internet arrived, it seemed to promise a liberation from the boredom of industrial society, a psychedelic jet-spray of information into every otherwise tedious corner of our lives. In fact, at its best, it is something else: a remarkable helper in the search for meaningful connections. But if the deep roots of boredom are in a lack of meaning, rather than a shortage of stimuli, and if there is a subtle, multilayered process by which information can give rise to meaning, then the constant flow of information to which we are becoming habituated cannot deliver on such a promise. At best, it allows us to distract ourselves with the potentially endless deferral of clicking from one link to another. Yet sooner or later we wash up downstream in some far corner of the web, wondering where the time went. The experience of being carried on these currents is quite different to the patient, unpredictable process that leads towards meaning. The latter requires, among other things, space for reflection – allowing what we have already absorbed to settle, waiting to see what patterns emerge. Find the corners of our lives in which we can unplug, the days on which it is possible to refuse the urgency of the inbox, the activities that will not be rushed. Switch off the infinity machine, not forever, nor because there is anything bad about it, but out of recognition of our own finitude: there is only so much information any of us can bear, and we cannot go fishing in the stream if we are drowning in it. As any survivor of the 1960s counterculture could tell us, it is best to treat magic substances with respect – and to be careful about the dosage."]]> dougaldhine web online internet information thewell stewartbrand kevinkelly johnmarkoff 2014 reflection meaning meaningmaking knowledge alienation behavior industrialization society purpose kenkesey eff johnperrybarlow https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:93cd74dd1d9c/ Make technological utopia easier with this one weird trick | Blog | Futurismic 2014-10-13T23:20:03+00:00 http://futurismic.com/2014/10/12/make-technological-utopia-easier-with-this-one-weird-trick/ robertogrecoNo one goes hungry. No one sleeps outdoors, unless they choose to. No one is conscripted as a child-soldier. No one is maimed by land-mines made on the other side of the world. No one is exploited for the betterment or gain of another. No one is a second class citizen to anyone. Nothing is wasted. Things – whether material or digital – are made with care and thought, and are made to last a long, long time. We appreciate a plurality of systems of value alongside the legacy cash-money system, which we keep going as a honey-trap distraction for the instinctively acquisitive. If that’s not utopian and desirable, I don’t know what it is. And as implausible, unlikely and peacenik-pie-in-the-sky as you might (very reasonably) choose to call it, it is possible — because it doesn’t require us to make a single damned invention or piece of software we don’t already have. We have everything we need already; it’s just, as Gibson didn’t quite say, not yet evenly distributed. That means my little scenario above is intrinsically more plausible than any future that requires a technological novum to make it work, because [Occam's Razor]. And if you’re aching to say “but hang on, you’ll never get that to work because getting people to change the way they do things isn’t at all simple”, then congratulations –you’ve internalised the very point I’ve been trying to make all along. Have a cookie. In short, then, and in hope of answering Kelly’s rhetorical question: the reason it is no longer possible/easy to write believable technological utopias is that we’ve had enough historical and personal experience with previous technologies failing to deliver on their utopian promises that we are no longer willing to take them at face value; we no longer believe that new technologies are an unalloyed good in and of themselves, and there have been sufficient charlatan futurists that we’ve started to assume they’re all charlatans until proven otherwise. So perhaps we’re edging closer to utopia faster than we thought."]]> paulgrahamraven 2014 utopia economics donnnaharaway transhumanism humanism technology inequality kevinkelly future futures policy politics waste environment care thought https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:d66132d0dca8/ ▶ Monthly Talk - Adam Greenfield - YouTube 2014-10-07T06:20:39+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjgXwp7gQRA robertogreco adamgreenfield optimism dystopia future solarpunk 2014 jugaad resilience mending repairing occupysandy occupywallstreet ows technology globalwarming environment sustainability mutualaid wikipedia ubicomp civilization inequality response networks utopia militarization commercialization iplaw intellectualproperty ownership consumerism rentseeking nathanmyhrvold privatization finance californiaideology raykurzweil kevinkelly transcendence hope technosolutionism growth economics progress latecapitalism neoliberalism wealth winnertakeall precarity collapse safetynet escape torredavid vannevarbush memex kowlooncity kowloon kowloonwalledcity bladerunner survival reality elysium sãopaulo riodejaneiro childrenofmen informationtechnology history dougengelbart knowledge collectivism singularity death mortality pollution cycles process structure mindfulness qualityoflife acculturation repair socialsafetynet singularitarianism https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:40fb4465c605/ Ed-Tech's Monsters #ALTC 2014-09-05T19:52:57+00:00 http://hackeducation.com/2014/09/03/monsters-altc2014 robertogreco"Education is the point at which we decide whether we love the world enough to assume responsibility for it and by the same token save it from that ruin which, except for renewal, except for the coming of the new and young, would be inevitable. And education, too, is where we decide whether we love our children enough not to expel them from our world and leave them to their own devices, nor to strike from their hands their chance of undertaking something new, something unforeseen by us, but to prepare them in advance for the task of renewing a common world.” Our task, I believe, is to tell the stories and build the society that would place education technology in that same light: “renewing a common world.” We in ed-tech must face the monsters we have created, I think. These are the monsters in the technologies of war and surveillance a la Bletchley Park. These are the monsters in the technologies of mass production and standardization. These are the monsters in the technologies of behavior modification a la BF Skinner. These are the monsters ed-tech must face. And we must all consider what we need to do so that we do not create more of them."]]> audreywatters edtech technology education schools data monsters dragons frankenstein luddites luddism neoluddism alanturing thomaspynchon society bfskinner standardization surveillance massproduction labor hannaharendt brunolatour work kevinkelly technosolutionism erikbrynjolfsson lordbyron maryshelley ethics hierarchy children responsibility love howwelearn howweteach teaching learning politics policy democracy exploitation hierarchies progress science scientism markets aynrand liberarianism projectpigeon teachingmachines personalization individualization behavior behaviorism economics capitalism siliconvalley neoluddites https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:d3850b33014f/ Cool Tools – The Message 2014-08-05T23:41:36+00:00 http://kk.org/cooltools/archives/624 robertogreco kevinkelly bible 2004 religion literature https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:42c009c96afe/ Click Here to Save Education: Evgeny Morozov and Ed-Tech Solutionism 2013-03-27T07:35:03+00:00 http://hackeducation.com/2013/03/26/ed-tech-solutionism-morozov/ robertogreco audreywatters 2013 evgenymorozov technology solutionism technosolutionism education mattersoffacts mattersofconcern criticalthinking quantifiedself knowledge brunolatour optimization efficience scale questions questioning edtech technostructuralism kevinkelly janmcgonigal jeffjarvis clayshirky timoreilly timwu books problemsolving problemdefining https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:702c37a71c8b/ future shock - bookforum.com / current issue 2013-03-05T18:28:21+00:00 http://bookforum.com/inprint/019_05/10825 robertogreco evgenymorozov gavinnewson scathing review book solutionism california technology government bureaucracy democracy stewartbrand californianideology via:migurski books teaparty clayshirky timoreilly dontapscott kevinkelly estherdyson longnow https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:d2871c9ea189/ The Technium: Pain of the New 2013-01-12T05:09:53+00:00 http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2013/01/pain_of_the_new robertogreco kevinkelly 2013 change technium technology film reality framerate history photography audio cds thehobbit hfr https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:a8e5b63e8844/ The Technium: The Improbable is the New Normal 2013-01-10T20:23:09+00:00 http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2013/01/the_improbable.php robertogreco internet web exposure information coincidence blackswans expectations photography video cameras everyday believability improbable 2013 kevinkelly technium https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:dab0b6fc6e43/ The Technium: The Post-Productive Economy 2013-01-10T19:42:04+00:00 http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2013/01/the_post-produc.php robertogreco growth robertgordon industrialization generativity leisurearts evolution internet networks plumbing china future technology productivity economics kevinkelly 2013 technium post-productiveeconomy artleisure https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:5b7c886cd64b/ Futurist Stewart Brand Wants to Revive Extinct Species | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com 2012-10-01T19:34:57+00:00 http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/08/ff_stewartbrand/all/ robertogreco amateurresearch acceleratingchange drugs communes communitymanagement trolls netiquette identity pseudonyms anonymity stupidityofmobs wisdomofcrowds mooreslaw well digitalera usergenerated user-generated biohacking counterculture geneticengineering biotechnology biotech evolution change technology transparency ethics science georgedyson 2012 interviews de-extinction extinction kevinkelly stewartbrand psychedelics https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:88a58867e89c/ Such a Long Journey - An Interview with Kevin Kelly - Boing Boing 2012-05-16T17:49:35+00:00 http://boingboing.net/2012/05/11/kk.html robertogreco darkmatter whatwedon'tknow ignorance curiosity thinking scientificmethod technology jaronlanier technium philosophy avisolomon interviews 2012 openminded mindchanges experience religion scifi sciencefiction science kevinkelly via:litherland mindchanging https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:5b7711c58787/ How We Will Read: Kevin Kelly 2012-04-12T18:00:07+00:00 http://blog.findings.com/post/19346681104/how-we-will-read-kevin-kelly robertogrecoI’m an active reader, and I mostly read to write.
I’m so far onto the left of the copyright issue. I believe that the natural home of all creation is in the public domain.
Money follows attention. Wherever attention goes, money will follow.
And what a book is, in my kind of formulation, is a coherent, sustained long argument or narrative, with a beginning, middle, and end.
I’m not a born writer. I’m a natural editor.
A website does not want to be a book.
Revisit.
A book was a very powerful device because it did so many different things. We’re taking some of those apart.
There’s no reason in my mind that you can’t make an e-book that’s a sheaf of flexible electronic pages that resemble a book that you turn.
