Favorite Finds - June 24th

I managed to survive the 120 degree Arizona weather (all thanks to the invention of air conditioning). Granted, I only spent about an hour in total outdoors. While I was lounging inside, I came across a couple excellent longform articles - A Sociology of the Smartphone and How An Entire Nation Became Russia's Test Lab for Cyberwar. I highly recommend the former to every smartphone user and the later for anyone interested in Russia's cyber-terrorism tactics on their testing ground of Ukraine. Here are some of my other favorite articles from this past week:

• The future(s) of mobility: How cities can benefit

• Despite a $17B Valuation and Expanding Business Model, How Long Can WeWork Work?
