Smart Shift

Smart Shift is a book about the near future, written in the near past. Smart Shift traces the history of computing from, well, a jolly long time ago to the present, and looks at the impact it has on our society and culture.

I actually finished writing it just after the Panama Papers but before Fake News and Trump's first presidency, all of which are symptoms of this techno-rapture we now inhabit. I had no idea how quickly it would get superseded by events, but its central point still stands: technology needs governance.
