a book about why creativelabor markets are rigged - and how to unrig them". Giblin had plannedto be in Melbourne to give her talk in person, but "the universe had otherplans"; she got delayed in Austin,Texas by an unexpected speaking slot at the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference, so she gave her talk via videoconference from there-atnearly midnight in Austin.
