Wow, an incredible "book" about how digital things work. Can’t wait to see more articles.
While the idea is nice: own your time, don’t let notifications and managers own it. There is one important flaw though: the word billionaire. Becoming a billionaire is not a good idea, it is a ridiculous american dream.

Very interesting article about the work that went into creating Words of Type.
