    🚀Unputdownable

    Важный пост-интернет художник потрясающе пишет: это классный нонфикшн, по степени связности и информационного разнообразия схожий с «Радикальными технологиями» Адама Гринфилда. Не подвергая опасности сюжетную арку, Брайдл даёт краткую историю фразы neither confirm nor deny, знакомит с климатической паранойей Джона Раскина и вместе с нами разглядывает небо, по которому вжухают частные джеты, под покровом ночи возвращающие неудавшихся беженцов в страны, которые те пытались покинуть. Конечно, это скорее памфлет, нежели строгий научный текст, но он собран удивительно крепко. Обязательно читайте, если до сих пор верите в роботизацию и безусловную положительность технологий.

    This meant that atmospheric conditions could affect the sound produced, altering the output. Bell wrote excitedly to his father, ‘I have heard articulate speech by sunlight! I have heard a ray of the sun laugh and cough and sing! I have been able to hear a shadow and I have even perceived by ear the passage of a cloud across the sun’s disk.’4
