Read Full Bio →

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, and a Commodore 64 right after it, which is where the trouble started. I still keep vintage machines around, and I wrote about the C64 Ultimate for that reason: a system you can understand down to the last gate is a rare thing today, and it is the standard I hold modern platforms to.

How is social media changing news?

It moved the archive out of the newsroom and into platforms that can edit, rank or delete it without telling anyone. The feed is not the problem; the ownership of the record is. The next turn is already here: AI answers that summarize the news without a byline. Whoever controls what those systems are allowed to remember controls the story, which is why I write about memory as infrastructure rather than as a feature.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Winston Smith, in 1984. Technically a journalist: he rewrites yesterday’s newspapers so that the archive always agrees with today. He is the reason I wrote a book on who owns memory, and the best job description I know for what a document platform must never do.
