Reception

The Age called it "good stage craft. It fitted well into the half hour."[5]

gollark: I don't get any push notifications except for direct text messages (and actually not even those now), it's great!
gollark: You can just ignore those.
gollark: You could theoretically do that with different structures to ~~companies~~ companies etc. in a market economy.
gollark: I mean, more like "without large-scale coordination mechanisms and specialization".
gollark: "do something which provides other people value or die", how awful.
