Just ordered my copy of Digital Culture Shock by @_doctor_kat! Can’t wait for this summer blockbuster read - a deep dive into how culture shapes the design and use of technology in different parts of the world. Knowing Katharina, this is a must-read for anyone building tech for…
Excellent write-up by @chaykak which includes some quotes from me and @informor on how AI is making our writing less original and homogenized.
