I write about the mediated life: what it is like to live, love, learn, and create in the digital age.
I’m not a futurist or a tech reviewer. My focus is the philosophy of the everyday digital.
I look at how technologies organize our lives—streaming, messaging, generative AI, social platforms— as phenomenological events.
Each essay asks a simple, but urgent question: how is technology shaping our lives, and how might we shape them back?
Seven themes for a mediated life
Authorship | Who is an author in the age of AI? | |
Agency and Attention | Why are we letting our brains rot? | |
Relationals | Mediated relations with others and with ourselves | |
Habitat | Belonging and displacement: homes, cities, borders and the planet | |
Trust | How are the systems creating trust? | |
Play | What technology is doing to our sense of play, our movies, games and entertainment | |
Future of Self | What person is technology making us become? |
The Mediation ProjectNew! Starting up with a new collaborative project.
