The other direction will have to be even more unstructured, semi-autonomous circulation of inventory in an ostensibly non-commercial environment, like an unchained Apple Store meets anarchist “really free market”—the ultimate neoliberal synthesis of the creative consumer personality.

A prediction: if/when people get tired of the shoppy shop aesthetic, one new direction for retail will be empty, light-drenched interiors where visitors choose curated selections of cultural objects from a single-page, typed menu and are brought their goods in a basket for contemplative inspection.

Beautiful!
