Right now, I’m working on an article examining a local neighborhood for how it can sustain itself. Please look for it when I open my Substack 😎

In honor of loving Klaus, I thought I'd put together a list of Movies/Shows based on sociotechnical systems:

1. Klaus (Postal Service)
2. Pelham 123 (Subway)
3. The Big Door Prize (arcade machine)

30 minutes in to Klaus and really enjoying it. How did I not hear about this film til now, yet it came out back in 2019!
