The Wired Momus

Momus is now writing a bi-monthly column over at Wired News, and the first edition, “Reading Green Tea Leaves in Tokyo,” is now online.

My first Wired column is online. It’s a piece called “Reading Green Tea Leaves in Tokyo” and it’s about how capitalism shows different faces in different places, how some of its localized versions are less toxic than others, less injurious to human health and human intelligence, and whether these differences are down to consumers or producers.

Also, his latest Click Opera entry examines Xeni Jardin’s Wired piece on the book PERSONAL, PORTABLE, PEDESTRIAN: MOBILE PHONES IN JAPANESE LIFE.
