[Guest post by Isaac Chotiner]
If you are feeling sick from family or overeating, and you are just dying to read one big article during Thanksgiving weekend, I would recommend this fantastic piece from Sunday's New York Times Business section. I don't want to reveal too much, but David Segal's completely fascinating article manages to raise interesting questions about the internet while simultaneously telling a riveting, disturbing story with two vivid characters. It's long, but well worth your time.

I really don't get why everyone and their mother is recommending that piece. There's nothing wrong with it or anything, but there's nothing especially important or noteworthy about it either.

I disagree with Simon. It is a good piece of journalism on a relevant element of capitalism. Besides, Borker is the Max Bialystock of the internet.
