La violencia de las bandas y el tráfico de drogas, dicen, se orquestan cada vez más en línea, lo que permite a los reclusos mantener su conducta delictiva incluso mientras cumplen condena.

• Las ciudades deberían funcionar más como ecosistemas, o incluso como metabolismos. Cuando construimos, deberíamos pensar en cómo integrarnos en los ecosistemas que nos rodean, pero sin sacrificar todas las comodidades de la civilización, como buenos restaurantes, salas de conciertos y acceso a Internet de alta velocidad. Lo digo en parte irónicamente, pero también muy en serio. El futuro de la tecnología es la ecología sostenible.
