ABSTRACT

Walk into any cool, early-stage company in any city in the world and you won’t see cubicles. You won’t see offices. What you might see are dogs running around, bricks and old timbers, and hip young people in work spaces. But I doubt you are going to hear much chatter. Everyone is wearing headphones and listening to anything other than what is going on around them. Other than the faint sound of Pink Floyd, the scene is quiet and a little eerie.
