Swimming in the Sauce of Warm Data (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I always knew I was an anthropologist, I am realizing. It was over a steaming brass bowl of massaman curry this last Sunday that I told Sevanne Kassarjian that I was weirdly into her grandmother, Margaret Mead, when I was in middle school. Totally alone in the Portland Thai restaurant the two of us wandered to during our lunch break a few minutes after meeting, she’d asked me how I came to be here, and I’m the kind of person who is always here for the backstory, mine and anyone else’s.
