OK, I know it’s not Friday, but I wanted to post this today:

If you are willing to live as an Unplugger does, your cost to buy out is only around three months of wages for a factory worker, the price of a used car. You never need to “work” again, although there are plenty of life support activities to keep you busy, and a lot of basic research and science to do. Unplugging is not an off-the-shelf solution, it’s a research career!

Full Story: World Changing.

And yes, Friday Fiction will resume one day… maybe soon.
