Let me start by saying I’ve built a new destination for members-only content. It’s on Patreon and it is the next level after this. I will, of course, keep writing in these newsletters but I’ll reserve the juicy bit, the controversial parts and most of my boiling indignation for there. Expect “No one gets fired…Read More

As I’m getting deeper into writing for my upcoming book “Tech-led Culture” I find myself, once again, deploring how difficult it is to attempt to emulate hindsight and perspective when in the very middle of the history-making eye of the storm as we are now.
