networktrainbook

so three days in the South of France for New Year. blue skies, sun and -5 with good friends, food, and drink. Most of the time was spent hanging out at imprints new base in Crest http://www.imprints-galerie.com/ . The wonderful Euro Star and French trains in general (clean, on time, restaurant cars, plug sockets and an ice bucket in the bar) gave me the chance to catch up on a couple of books – Failure - http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/failure a fantastic manual of how to think about making work and Off the network disrupting the digital world - https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/off-the-network - its powerful stuff – it critiques how the Internet and the digital network changes users understanding of the world.
