I'm looking for something a little "harder" to dig into.  Harman, Bryant, 
Gratton: philosophy.  Morton: English. Bogost: media. Bennett: political 
theory.  Ennis: business philosophy (?).

Of these, Ennis seems the most likely to have *concrete* ideas of OOO, given 
his listed research interests (blockchain in particular).  But his work I've 
found so far is obtuse to me because of I'm philosophically incompetent.

I also found this: 
  Reducers and other Cilk++ hyperobjects
  https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1584017
which triggers my apophenia (not only because of Morton's "hyperobjects", but 
also our recent discussion of Rosen and the claim that his criticism of formal 
systems includes "deadlock").  But it seems to boil down to a (however 
interesting) categorization of ways to handle race conditions.

But I've always read slowly, attempting to fold what I read into my worldview 
as I read.  And now that I need reading glasses and forget more than I 
remember, I read even slower.  So, if anyone has any advice on a more targeted 
approach to concrete OOO, I'd appreciate it.
