    • 2015 November 19, Steve Rose, “The future is round: why modern architecture turned doughnut-shaped”, in The Guardian[1]:
      Now, [Simon] Denny is scrutinising how similar hacking culture is to “contemporary radical management practices”. Chief among them is “holacracy”, or rather, Holacracy® – a public idea that’s also a privately owned concept, which is about right for this strange new world.
