#naomialderman — Public Fediverse posts

This is the best news I've had in a very very long time.

My favourite app is going to live on. The miracle I was hoping for is happening.

That app carried me through some of the worst years of my life. I can't even begin to describe how happy I am to hear from Abel Township again.

Start The Week - BBCRadio4

Digital Futures and Information Crises
Start the Week

How can we reclaim the internet? Tom Sutcliffe and guests discuss the digital age - its supporters and discontents.

Tech critic Cory Doctorow introduces his new book Enshittification, a blistering diagnosis of how online platforms have decayed — from innovation to exploitation — and what we can do to make it better for ordinary users.

Novelist and broadcaster Naomi Alderman draws on history in Don’t Burn Anyone at the Stake Today, arguing that we’ve lived through information crises before, and that lessons from the invention of writing and the printing press can help us navigate today’s digital turbulence.

Journalist Oliver Moody, the author of Baltic: The Future of Europe, discusses Estonia’s radical embrace of digital governance, and what it reveals about the possibilities — and limits — of a truly connected state.

Producer: Katy Hickman
Assistant Producer: Natalia Fernandez

Recommendation for Stacy!

Naomi Alderman (*yuck*) series on great thinkers, "Human Intelligence" episode on Michael Faraday (religious nut ... I mean ... highly religious person and brilliant scientist).

"The modern world is inconceivable without this son of a blacksmith and his meticulous, relentless brain. Naomi Alderman meets the mind behind huge scientific advances – who made breakthroughs in the understanding of electricity, changed the technology by which we live and contributed to our theoretical understanding of the forces underpinning the universe. Faraday also devoted his life to spreading the understanding of science into public life via his lectures at the Royal Institution."

(It goes a bit too far with the "without him we wouldn't have ..." line-of-thinking but otherwise quite good. And, he refused a knighthood which I didn't know about before.)

#TheFuture #NaomiAlderman

@seachanger Thanks for bringing up the #WorthFightingFor community Iʼm enjoying reading The Future by Naomi Alderman “and Martha, hugging each of them in turn, …thought: I am never going to know how to live without a community of purpose. I am going to keep looking for this for the rest of my life, whatever happens.”
Part 4 the possibilities of iteration...

Book 21: "#ThePower" by #NaomiAlderman.

Cool premise that the author doesn't carry all the way through. The story unfolds through several POV characters, but there's always the one (or more) that you're bored with, or there's a boring stretch for one you do like. So I often felt unsatisfied.

The conceit that the book itself is written by a man in a matriarchal world is fascinating. It only bookends the novel with "research" interspersed—I wished there was more.
