The Next 100 Years
2 June, 2009
Am sending this book off to print – hurrah! Some people are reactive, others proactive. I’d like to think I plan my life but I have a sneaky suspicion quite often it’s more a case of life happening to me. George Friedman is clearly someone who thinks ahead and this book is the most riveting, […]

Muscles & Frites

Don’t you find it weird how you’ll go for months not thinking about a particular thing and then all of a sudden it’ll be completely ubiquitous? For instance, one morning you’ll wake up and there’ll be a news report on Penguin Books, then you’ll read an article on the way into work about an oil […]
