One of my recent posts was https://medium.com/bookish-nook/people-are-people-not-us-and-them-ec6d4ddf5b2f subtitled "Two takeaways from Richard Bach’s wonderful novel One including that it foreshadowed Medium." Here's the part about Medium:

"Now I’ll land this interdimensional seaplane back in One, and the opportunity Medium presents writers to make a difference in the world. At the end of the book (no spoiler alert necessary), Richard and Leslie have found their way out of the matrix of alternate realities and to a conference for open-minded, free-thinking people to share their cutting-edge ideas. One talk is titled, “FUTURE WITHOUT BORDERS: THE RISE OF THE ELECTRONIC NATION. The presenter says:

“Electronic nations are not far-off experiments that may or may not work. They have already begun, they’re already at work, and they exist this moment around us, invisible networks of those who share the same values and ideas, … The citizens of these nations may be American or Spanish or Japanese or Latvian, but what holds their unseen countries together is stronger than the borders of any geography…citizens of these nations forge loyalties to each other that are stronger than loyalty to their geographical countries. This without ever having met in person or even expecting to meet, they grow to love one another for the quality of their thought, their character…”

That describes much of my experience on Medium and why despite all its faults we writers find ourselves moaning about, I’m still here and not going anywhere."
