"The city becomes a giant fulfillment center, and humans mere inventory pickers."

That's almost the definition of a shopping mall.


This is awesome and I can't wait until these become reality. I understand that media now lives on the message that tech is bad, but to make out some kind of dystopia from these patents it's a giant stretch.


Calling an independent magazine "the media" is just lazy criticism. You can be of a different opinion, but that‘s not an argument.


Any magazine is part of the media - especially if it's continuing the same exact discourse as other media outlets.
