The tech that underlies Bix's whole career is this research by a woman named Miranda Klein. This is Mindy from goon squad who has like algorithmically come up with why and how humans are social animals. She had to go to an indigenous, a small indigenous community in Brazil where everybody knows everybody's business for like generations. And then it gets sold to Bix at some point because their family doesn't have a lot of money.
It only took 500-or-so episodes to revisit the world of Egan's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel A Visit from the Goon Squad. We did, of course, have to wait for Egan to write her sequel (sort of) novel. This follow-up to a post-postmodern classic is focused on memories (digital and otherwise) and relationships (virtual and otherwise). It's got "what if the Meta but for everyone's memories" okay??
