Edwinek<p>On Wednesday my glass fiber modem died (only half a year old, thanks Nokia), so I've been enjoying an analog lifestyle since then (well, apart from my phone).</p><p>No music, no TV (though we did watch a movie on my kids DVD player over composite video), no laptop or desktop PC, not even much of a smart home.</p><p>I must say I rather liked it. Haven't read so much in a long time.</p><p>Still, I won't be sad when the new modem is delivered, hopefully, this afternoon. I'll try to keep up the reading though.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/analoglife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>analoglife</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a></p>

Karen Mardahl<p>I’ve started reading “Careless People” by Sarah Wynn-Williams, which is an insider account of earlier years at Facebook. My mind is boggled. Reminds me of why I hate the phrase “lean in”. It’s both a fast read and a painful read. Kind of like watching a crash in slow motion. You hope the bad stuff won’t happen, but you know it has, and that even worse stuff happens. It does start to illustrate how Zuckerberg got to the ring-kissing stage with 47. He gets high on power, and never wants to get off that high. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/CarelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarelessPeople</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/fredagsbog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fredagsbog</span></a></p>

Brett Hodnett<p>When writing the acknowledgements for my novel HUMAN it occurred to me that one of the greatest debts I owe is to all the authors that I’ve read throughout my life. Not only classic literature, fantastical tales and heartbreaking stories, but also non-fiction, whether about <a href="https://c.im/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> or <a href="https://c.im/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>economics</span></a> or home renovation. In fact, why stop there? I must also include scientific papers, newspaper articles, blogs, and all the various and sundry writings I’ve ever come across.<br>Together, they provided me with the rich tapestry of stories and facts which have smashed around in my head and resulted in creative thoughts of my own. They also provided me with the knowledge of how to write. I never really learned how to write a story, I’ve only intuited how to do so through reading what others have written.<br>So I would like to thank everyone who has ever let loose written words into the world.
