    YIELD - Part 05

    Chen Zhuo is thirty-four, a gray-market hardware engineer in Huaqiangbei, ninety-one thousand yuan in debt and eleven days into a bug he cannot find. An old partner who is doing conspicuously well hands him a strip of cut tape in an anti-static bag, the way you hand somebody a sample of a component, and he takes one. The market becomes legible. Within four months he has money and a name and a team and a car he did not choose. And running underneath all of it from the first week, in flat installments he explains away exactly as anyone would, is a label with a revision letter on the end of it, which any engineer alive would read as meaning there were an A, a B and a C. Narrated with a synthetic voice.

    TWO YEARS EARLY - Part 04

    Bangalore, 2004. Four people inside a three-thousand-person software services company build a product they are not permitted to own, in a clean room, against their own largest client, and it is switched off by a project plan. Over twelve years they build three more — a place to talk for people who have a phone and no computer, a way to send money to a phone number, a telephone line answered by a human being in nine languages — and every one of them is right about the country and wrong about the year. Sunita Iyer keeps the arithmetic. Nandita Borah keeps the shape. In one quarter of 2016 all of the infrastructure they were early for arrives at once, and none of them is still in the game. Narrated with a synthetic voice.
