I realise this is supposed to be a dystopia but I can't help but notice that the workers are not being bothered by Outlook or Teams/Slack pings. They get to focus for hours at a time on their mysterious and important work, and what's more, they are unambiguously rewarded for executing that specific task well.

Is anyone else just the tiniest bit jealous? Maybe Jame Eagan read a lot of Cal Newport or something.

I mean yeah, it's chill by comparison to what we have now, but we have at least some work life balance. For them, there is no outside of work.
