One of the most entertaining parts of the book is the part at the beginning of the chapter on Atlantis where everyone talks about their jobs outside the Gulch vs. within the Gulch.

Before I read AS, I was both a professor of chemical engineering and materials science, particularly nanotechnology, as well as the co-founder of small biosensors and biofuels companies. After reading AS, I sold the businesses to not feed the looters. I kept the professorship because I was not doing things contradictory to Galtish values. Recently I just got an appointment as a biomedical engineering professor, too.

Within the Gulch it appears my job is to be discussion facilitator.

Welcome to Atlantis,
