If you’re interested in tech policy or security & looking for Christmas read, I recommend “A History of the World in 6 Glasses” by @tomstandage

2024-12-10 21:46:15+00:00

I don’t get much time to read nowadays so I do a lot of audiobooks, and after his Victorian Internet – itself a transformative read – I attacked Tom’s history of the world through drinks: Beer, Wine Spirits, Coffee, Tea & Coca-Cola… and Water makes 7 – and the found the whole content, if not entirely the narration, to be gripping.

However: if you are interested in tech policy in any way whatsoever the one thing you will hear above all else is the drumbeat of fear-mongering and groundless, self-interested regulation.

It’s all just so terribly resonant with the modern day.
