This is precisely the sort of thing Salon should be doing more often: balances the Broadsheet fluff. I especially would like to see entries that address:
1) The relationship between globalism and rapid technological change.
2) How culture and cultral industries "work" or don't in this new context.
3) How Western culture is being changed by contact with the rest of the world.
Best of luck to you.
Looking forward to it.
