There's something creepy about My Rich Uncle. Instead of providing kids with crippling student loans, they make "investments" in students, in return for which, said students are expected to pay a royalty on their post-college earnings for a decade or more. Does this strike you as a form of indentured servitude? Four years of Ivy League school at $20k per means you give MRU up to 40% of your income for the next fifteen years. Link (via Metafilter)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
