Noted online: to read when I have a moment.


Childhood's End - The digital revolution isn’t over but has turned into something else - The 2019 Edge New Year's Essay, George Dyson [1.1.19]

"Nations, alliances of nations, and national institutions are in decline, while a state perhaps best described as Oligarchia is on the ascent. George Dyson explains in this, the first Edge New Year's Essay".

"North and South, East and West, centre and periphery – the dichotomies with which Europe’s constitution is riven have profound cultural-historical roots. Particularly the schism between the Byzantine and Graeco-Roman cultures is a persistent source of friction, writes the renowned Romanian art historian and philosopher Andrei Pleșu".
