Predicting The Future
Since ancient times people have attempted to predict the future, but where they sought answers from mystical sources, we can apply the scientific method.

Creative Intelligence
Whether viewed as an opportunity or threat, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our lives. Many routine, analytical and data driven tasks have already been automated using AI and there is growing concern regarding its increasing use within creative roles.
I wrote Creative Intelligence to explore the nature of human creativity, its contribution to personal well being and the impact of machine intelligence upon how we live and work today and might in the future. Some people claim that AI will become sentient and outperform human beings to such an extent that we will become redundant. However, others point to limitations in the technology and believe that human capabilities and potential are being underestimated.

Technology and Fiction
Across the centuries artists, writers, philosophers and scientists have imagined the future. Rapid technological change has led many people to comment that we are now living in a society that just a few years ago would have seemed like science fiction. Through mythology, books and movies, we have shared stories that can help us to better understand ourselves, each other and the world we live in. They might help us to navigate the challenges that lay ahead.
Science Fiction Quiz
This science fiction quiz consists of twenty multiple choice questions, the answers to which can be found by reading the mythology, books and movies sections. A quiz related to products or services that a business sells, combined with content visitors can read to find answers to the questions, could increase online engagement.

My Approach To Technology Copywriting
In addition to technical knowledge, my technology copywriting draws upon an understanding of digital marketing and human behaviour, which can be represented using the Five Factor Model and applied to different content types.
Copywriting For Different Personality Types
Based on The Five Factor Model, the CraftBook personality test is provided for entertainment purposes, but might help an individual to learn more about themselves, or find a suitable career. In a business context, the model could be used to create marketing personas and when mapping customer journeys. Applying the model to copywriting can deliver results that resonate more deeply with a target audience, increasing the probability people will purchase a product or service.
Why Work With Me?
Applying storytelling, digital marketing and The Five Factor Model to my copywriting, I can craft content that is clear and concise. Using my understanding of technology, business goals and client needs, I can highlight benefits of a product or service and calls to action. This will help a business to engage with their customers, attract leads and increase sales.
