...Metaverse customer-service rep. Bad: I don't have a cubicle in some Edge City office complex. I telecommute from home -- from her home, from her sofa. I sit there all day long, munching through my dwindling stash of tax-deductible jelly beans, wearing an operator's headset, gripping the control unit, using it like a puppeteer's rig to control other people's Rasters on other people's screens, all over the U.S. I can see them -- the wide-angle view from their set-top boxes is piped to a window on my screen.

The space was so narrow that his blades barely cleared the houses on both sides as he set his bird on the ground...
...Ovitz that means continuing to push the boundaries of what a Hollywood talent agency does. On his telephone is a sign that reads, COMMUNICATE! And early each morning, he slips on a high-tech headset, plugs the extralong cord into that phone and spends the next 12 hours working his relationships, cajoling, brokering, turning that exhortation into new ways of making money...
