Tao may not see it, but he's a survivor of technology and his work composes adaption alongside institutions of American life. I like how rooted to our era he remains, not skipping current events audience but engaging them. I think Trip and MkUltra were Tao dwelling in that audience and selling the literary goods people want.

He sprinkles wit and humor elements sparingly which I like, the text doesn't rely upon them and drives of Taos accord

alt lit isn't anymore real than e-meters, but Tao is an educated witness to large historical events. Well see what comes of that. the trouble for these types is when they write less. He should write more seeing how for every Tao article there's a million boomer posts clogging the psyches
