Episode notes

Awara features premium shrilanken latex and rapped coil springs to provide contour and a touch of bounce for supportive sleep throughout the night. For a limited time, you'll get 499 dollars in free accessories, two natural latex pillows, cotton sheets and a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress purchased. And feel good knowing awara plants ten trees with every purchase. So sleep better knowing you just planted a small forest.

As the holidays approach, we are being reminded of the fragility of the global supply chain. But at the same time, the supply chain itself is a truly impressive and fascinating structure, made as it is from multiple components that must work together in synchrony. From building an item in a factory and shipping it worldwide to transporting it locally, processing it in a distribution center, and finally delivering it to an address, the system is simultaneously awe-inspiring and deeply dehumanizing. I talk with Christopher Mims about how things are made, how they get to us, and what it all means for the present and future of our work and our lives.
