David Hutchinson

I am from Williamsport, PA and enjoy reading and writing about science, history, and geography, particularly with a focus on technological progress, markets, and economic history. Some things I've been reading and thinking about recently:

• In 2011 Andreesen Horowitz published Why Software Is Eating the World
  • Today, you can swap every mention of 'software' and replace it with 'models'
  • E.g. Why Models are Eating the World
• A Brief History of the University
  • I wrote a deep dive on the history of how and why universities work, and why they may or may not be in peril
• Reading Land of Promise: An Economic History of the United States
• Tales of water and mountains
  • A reflection on the forces that shaped my hometown of Williamsport, PA, particularly during its first 100 years
