A long 1990 interview with Alan Kay, the computer scientist behind Smalltalk and the Dynabook, in which he talks about the future of personal computing. It touches on ideas like agent-oriented computing.
HN people value it as a primary source showing that Kay's 1990 views on computing and agents still hold up.
“Very interesting view, especially considering how long ago that was and how relevant they still are.”
