Alchemy for the Fourth Industrial Revolution

~ Eliza

The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words.

— William H. Gass

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person of science can’t write. Universally acknowledged but probably bunk, in most cases. That said, writing so that someone can understand what you’ve written without too much effort – I don’t believe that’s a universal skill. Is it alchemy? Maybe.
