A computer scientist and significant author who is taking technology, especially AI, as the object of humanistic inquiry. Insightful and well written, and a key voice. Highly recommended.

Beautiful reflections on making furniture. I know nothing about furniture, and am uncomfortable with a tool more precise than a framing hammer. But "furniture" becomes an avenue for disciplined and funny, very humane, thought about making, writing, teaching, family and friends, and ones own gifts, responsibilities, limitations. Maybe there is a wiser substack, maybe not. Enjoy.

Erudite, penetrating, fair minded analysis of the history of warfare, including contemporary conflicts. Moves to and fro from the theoretical to the strategic, operational, tactical, and colorful human, and back.

Wessie has a fascinating take on the material world, informed by anthropology, art history, design, and a very fine eye. In a world of digitization, a needful voice.

Very thoughtful, very German, philosophical and sensitive, and so multi-layered. Needful, especially in cybersocial [culture] as it is generally practiced.
