Palmer on her interactions with technologists/tech workers:

“These are people who are obsessed with maximizing their impact on the world, she says, but who aren't sure they're going about it the right way. They ask her how they can foresee the repercussions of the things they will do. 'How would the inventors of glitter have imagined that they would poison manatees?' she asked. 'You feel this kind of paralysis.'”
