by | June 24, 2024

For The Baffler, Matt King wrote about enterprise software and the “SaaS-y” grifters of Silicon Valley, who “tout innovation while repeating the old-school tactics of land-grabbing and value extraction.” He writes, “Whether it’s SaaS, superapps, blockchains, or whatever format comes next, the trajectory of recent Silicon Valley “innovation” remains the same: a hint of genuine productivity and a heavy dose of old-school land-grabbing and value extraction.”

Matt King’s writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Boston Review, and The New Republic.
