“If we are not careful, we might be trapped behind a curtain of illusions, which we could not tear away—or even realise is there”: https://t.co/UFWWTE4b9O

The ultimate geeky book. A super fun read with the whole sci-do works: AI, aliens and space wars.

So lovely it only took a couple of days for me to read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. If you want three new best friends, I’d give this one a try.

Whenever I finish an Emily St John Mandel book, I continue to think about it for days. There’s something quite special about a novel that extends beyond the final word. Station Eleven is the epitome of beautiful writing and I got chills throughout.

@goodreads Half way through and can’t put it down

The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida has gone instantly onto my favourites shelf. I’d trade my soul to be able to read it again for the first time.

My first fantasy book and I couldn’t put it down! @say_shannon creates such an immersive world in The Priory of the Orange Tree.

A must-read for those tired of damsels in distress and knights in shining armour.

Can’t wait for A Day of Fallen Night

Finished Trust by earlier this week. Think this will be one of my top books of the year.

I was a little confused at first, but everything came together perfectly.

Read the first book in the Dark Tower series this month:

Is the rest of the series just as good?

Last week Meta announced they were removing the shopping tab from IG. In my opinion, this represents a shift away from catering to active shopping mindsets on social media platforms in favour of integrating products more natively into reels, posts, etc

Adored Babel by @kuangrf

I got completely lost in the streets of the University of Oxford. Both the beautiful and the dark.

An exploration of 19th century colonialism, brought to life in a way you don’t quite get from history books.

If we start to actively choose content that spreads positivity, that will serve to encourage the production of kinder content. Every content consumer, news reader, internet user has a role to play. #bekind

My main take away from the Harry interview: we need to vote against harmful content with our attention. Stop clicking on news that spreads hate #HarryandMeghan

[Sarah Barker @SarahElBe]

The press will not stop posting this type of content as long as they’re making money. Their business model is based on ad spend. The more eyes on pages, the higher the attention, the more they make. The more type of similar content they will continue to make.

My first read of the New Year - Stephen King's Fairy Tale.

Everything you’d expect from a Stephen King take on a fairy tale. Magical & dark.

I’ve never written a review before, but I just couldn’t stop thinking about Sea of Tranquility by @EmilyMandel

Beautiful and clever. More than just your average sci-fi novel. It gives you an appreciation for life.

In 2023, brands will find success with NFTs when they focus on creating utility, experiences and loyalty for their holders, rather than just creating them as investment assets.

@blakecrouch1 Read both Dark Matter & Recursion this last week and they’ve instantly become my top 2!

15 years ago I was writing about Nick Knight and @SHOWstudio breaking fashion conventions in my GCSE art sketchbook. Today, I minted my ikon-1 avatar. If this doesn’t speak to the value of Web 3.0 in transforming fashion by valuing community & ownership, I don’t know what does!
