  Here’s a clip from the article that provides more of a hook.
  
  

  My bosses at Suck.com, meanwhile, accurately predicted that the Web would soon become something between a gigantic mall catering to the lowest common denominator and an infinite tabloid echo chamber. Their mantra: Sell out early and often. Why? Because those of us musing about murderous robot showdowns (or scratching out angry cartoons under a pseudonym, for that matter) would all go back to grabbing ankle for The Man sooner than we thought.
  
  What they didn’t know, and never could’ve predicted, was that the Web would also transform itself into an enormous, never-ending high school reunion (See also: hell).

  
  
  It’s amusing to me to consider what could constitute a finely grained sociology of the internet, versus the current wave of pushing back promulgated by the erasure of idealism on the part of some of the net’s uber thought leaders.

  check out my impending review of a couple of books on the topic. i’m stuck on the best one, trying to think of ways i can summarise some of the points he makes – does a good job in many ways…
