Speculation with teeth in 2026
Philip Wylie writes thought experiments that poke at pride and panic. Science gadgets and fads are tested for their cost to family city and self. The tone is fast the questions blunt. Read him to argue about risk and progress with terms rather than noise and to enjoy concept driven pace.
