Perhaps Bruce Sterling said it best, in his story, Green Days in Brunei:
"The technical elite were errand boys. They didn't decide how to study,
what to work on...Money decided that...(they) were owned by the abstract
ones and zeros in the banker's microchips. Knowledge wasn't power, not
really, not for engineers. There were too many abstractions in the way."
