Hybrid work. Dispersion. [Employee empowerment](https://www.philsimon.com/tag/employee-empowerment/). Thorny inflation and attendant interest-rate increases.

These are just a few of the forces that I cover in [*The Nine*](https://www.philsimon.com/books/the-nine). In the book, I describe how the they're colliding, and why the workplace will never return to its pre-COVID state. Landlords, banks, and others involved in commercial real estate are starting to realize as much.

As last night's *60 Minutes* segment showed, the societal and economic consequences are grave.
