‘May you live in interesting times’ – apocryphal Chinese curse.

Welcome to Interesting Times, a project talking about what it means to be a creative human-being in an age dominated by algorithms and AI.

Ultimately, I want to write a creative non-fiction book that shares the perspective of those of us who are forced to consume and be consumed by a digital world that is not always designed in its users’ best interest. Writing this will keep me busy for the next year or so.

In this Substack I will share:

·         Notes on research

·         Short articles

·         Drafts and excerpts from my upcoming book

·         Information about upcoming events that I will be facilitating

·         Updates about my writing process.

I want to create content that allows people to feel informed, inspired, and validated in their existence in that digital world. To create content that is not anti-tech but pro-human.
