Tom McCarthy likens the eCommerce boom to the dutch tulip craze; Heiko Fischer reimagines the brainless world in a series of Microsoft Charts and Kelvin Murray and Simon Leigh turn in photos of eerily depopulated unspaces, the waiting rooms and terminals of the new epoch.

The fashion pages tend towards the hitherto unexplored, offering mid-level management chic courtesy of BUMP and tweenage swagger from Kai Wiechmann.
