I highlight a Xerox PARC article examining the social role of documents in the New Economy. It argues that documents are active agents in building communities and facilitating communication, rather than just static information containers.
I discovered this Xerox PARC paper on the future of books while reading The Social Life of Information. It offers a thoughtful look at how digital media and traditional print coexist and influence our information habits.

I share a resource on the intersection of hacking and social engineering, examining how attackers exploit human psychology rather than technical flaws to bypass security protocols and gain unauthorized access to sensitive systems.
I shared a link to Yahoo! Internet Life's retrospective on the year 2000, which documents major web trends and digital milestones from the transition into the new millennium during the height of early internet culture.
I recommend The MouseDriver Insider for a raw look at the intense reality of startup life. It documents the daily struggles and high-stakes decisions involved in building an early-stage company from the ground up.
