Welcome to the Silicon Valley Sentinel-Observer! The stories, essays, interviews, commercials, book reviews, speeches, and other materials that you are about to read are all drawn from the media during May of 2028, focusing on the social, cultural, technical and intellectual climate of 2028.

The Silicon Valley Sentinel-Observer is a special feature by Richard Epstein. It was first published almost 15 years ago in the journal of the ACM Special Interest Group on Computers and Society (SIGCAS). It will be featured as part of the preparation for FSCONS 2010, and most of the articles are as important today -- or perhaps more so -- as they were 15 years ago.

Welcome to Sunday, May 14th, 2028.
