hardware / software / foundation
boom / bust / aftershock
monopolies in formation
a future already platformed

Google / Facebook / Apple / Microsoft
a chorus of servers singing profit
hardware becomes habitat
software becomes soil
capitalism re-emerges in platform form
from downturn to boom / from crisis to code
the economy carved into operating systems
a small number of giants / holding the world’s login credentials
post-capitalist visions buffering indefinitely

firms transforming into platforms
hardware and software foundations
economy carved up among monopolies
new tendencies within capitalism
visions of a post-capitalist future
