The raw and the cooked

Kai, a fantastic writer known to some of us here, has a version of this piece in 14; he's been planning to expand it for years. Needs a high-level nudge to do so, perhaps even the promise of a fistful of mp3s of 1970s funk in return for his labour.

If Ntone can make him do it, there's a fantastic piece to be had on the next great economic power's last big secret.
