A More Complete Picture on New Tech and Society
Iāve had a few interesting conversations in the last couple of weeks that have ended up at the same conclusion: we can talk tech until the cows come home, but the really interesting debatesāthe debates that are too often absent, especially from the Silicon Valley perspectiveāare not from the sciences.

My work is centred on making āexpertā topics understandable, helping to connect people and ideas.

Open systems
I care about open systems that contribute to society, whether that be software, art, or the places we live.
