Fantastic review of Strangers and Intimates.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

A fascinating new book lays out how thinking about privacy has evolved. “Strangers and Intimates” is one of those rare works that changes how you see the world https://t.co/ww5FHVfCKH

There's never been a better time for a billionaire to fund an alternative Radio 4 committed to Reithian principles (appreciate this is something of an idée fixe) https://t.co/CJbGTEXcqd

2/3 In this case, as the value of taking and sharing an image rapidly increased, the value of privacy was reduced. It's a fascinating example of a value shift which feels incredibly relevant to right now. There's more from Tiffany in episode 2 of our The Value Crisis.

[Ros Atkins @BBCRosAtkins]

1/3 Technology is shifting what we value in many different ways. When trying to make sense of it, it's useful to look to other moments where this has happened. This is historian Tiffany Jenkins talking about the arrival of the Kodak camera in the 19th century.

Fascinating insights into the @BGPrize shortlisted titles. I’m very biased, but Edmund Richardson’s Alexander: God, King, Man stands out. Fingers crossed for him on 4 November.

[Andrea Wulf @andrea_wulf]

Some very nice scatting by Bryn the Welsh terrier to sometime with Charlie Parker

[Ros Atkins @BBCRosAtkins]

This is something we've been working on for the last few months. A new series for Radio 4 about how technology is changing what we value - and about value shifts through history and what they can teach about the one we're living through now. https://t.co/kAOtQ6vKEO

[Nick Holland @Nick_Holland_]

Very sad to hear of the passing of Bonnie Greer. I spoke to her a number of times about the Brontes, and remember her taking her shoes off and banging them on the table during a particularly volatile Bronte Society meeting. A passionate and brilliant woman.

Really lively and informative discussion on @BBCRadio4 which explores the architecture and culture of Norman Britain - then, mostly, but also, with the castles of Silicon Valley & tech, now. https://t.co/4E2yrNx4k5
