It's a spoof aka satire: "I wish I'd thought of it back in 2006. I guess we all do." but has lots of truths woven through it -- like all good science fiction. The classism (rich vs. poor) is troubling, as one hopes the wizard-recruiters come through *every* neighborhood in their gnu math bizmos. Why give preferential treatment to the historically advantaged? My biases run in the other direction, I must confess.
