"the universal tagging made the contents of the building basicaly theftproof. it also made communal property a rather simple proposition. It was never hard to find a tool when the local, condition, and history of evrey tool was loged and displayed in real time. It was also very hard for freeloaders to anonymously steel or abuse the common goods. When it worked, this digital socialism was considerably cheeper and more convenint than private property." ~ bruce sterling;
