...reality TV’s pitfall in the business of moralizing seems to be its unapologetic reality. Next year, YouTubers will find another craze, Britons will find another media darling, and Simon Cowell will find another unlikely star to mine for ratings. Boyle will land a record deal and sell enough albums to live comfortably to a ripe old age. But the next time a buffoonish-looking, middle-aged woman with a stellar soprano auditions for Britain’s Got Talent, she won’t make it very far—that’s already been done...

...true. In an interview early this year in his office, Nesson moves quickly, from his childhood, to his relationship with the Internet and computers (in the 1980s, fiddling around with an early personal computer, he fashioned a virtual poker program that he was later able to sell for enough money to buy himself a summer home.) For nearly 45 minutes, he discusses Jamaica—a country that he became fascinated with after visiting for the first time in the 1990s. They’re answers he’s given several times, but there’s a freshness...
