Neal Stephenson’s novel Interface (co-written with his uncle and published under the name “Stephen Bury”) revolves around a group of demographers and their particular demographic jargon: Midwestern Can-Stacker, Stone-Faced Urban Homeboy, and so on. With “You Are Where You Live,” now you can discover what your pigeonhole is called — just enter your ZIP code and the service will cough up your most likely demographic info (I’m either a Successful Single, a Mover And Shaker, a Mid-Life Success, a Great Beginning or an Urban Up And Comer). Creepy. Link Discuss (Thanks, Stefan!)
