Well chuffed to be interviewed on @NewBooksNetwork (and have Smoke & Mirrors be featured as their 'book of the day'!) chatting all things hype! And as it's listed with the Jun 2021 release, I guess you could say today is the start of the US book tour! 🇺🇸 https://t.co/gFr7xU9SWn

✊Scientists are workers too✊ I've been thinking a lot recently about unionisation, organisation and activism in science, and what it means to brand scientists as 'workers', so it was brilliant to chat to @ColdWarScience about exactly this for @radicalscipod!

⚡️ICYMI⚡️ We chatted to @richove about libraries, archives and their upkeep as key to a functioning democracy; the power of knowledge in society (and why some destroy, steal or conceal it); and why big tech should be paying a memory tax... 📚 https://t.co/qhXgucNAXv

Hi 👋 You may have noticed we have a new name! It was time to move on from 'disrupt', wasn't it... There *may* be issues with the feed on iTunes / Spotify etc, so make sure you're still subscribed! ...and maybe while you're at it you could give us a wee 5-star rating eh? 😇

"The moonshot narrative is lame and trite. It would be worthy of a mocking eye-roll – if it weren’t being employed on a global pandemic. But it’s also revealing the government yet again to be dangerously inept in its tech worship" My latest for @guardian https://t.co/hny4ozRt49
