Fast Forward Files: Opening Up
"Fast Forward Files: Opening Up" is the tangible product of the inaugural Fast Forward Forum — a three-day conference filled to the brim with top-level speakers and in-depth discussions. The resulting book covers eight future and management topics from authors including Pete, vegan entrepreneur Heather Mills and Shazam co-founder Dhiraj Mukherjee.
Topics covered include:
- Dhiraj Mukherjee, founder of Shazam — 'Why thinking like a kid can help seal future success'
- Markus Hengstschläger, Director of the Institute of Medical Genetics — 'The new normal? Why average is the enemy of tomorrow's talent'
- 'Health matters: Why it's time to take charge of your own body'
- 'The consumer in chaos: Moving between the fast and slow'
- 'Let's not lose sight of what technology's really for'
- 'Soul food: The changing face of nutrition in today's world'
- 'What man's best friend can teach us about innovation'
- 'In the fight between chaos and structure, who wins?'
Picnic Comma Lightning
A stylish, playful exploration of what digital life is doing to the way we find meaning in the world.
Picnic Comma Lightning brings us further meditations on what digital life is doing to the way we find meaning in the world. Laurence Scott ponders his world with a mix of delighted avidity, candour and melancholy. But this second book goes deeper, ranges even wider, and takes many different forms in the mind. It is a philosophical meditation on perceptions of reality, achieved by means of beguilingly playful moves from confession to anthropology to social analysis.
I was used as a subject matter expert and am interviewed in the book — contributing commentary on the changing role of technology in people's everyday lives, and how we give away our data so freely.
