About CraftBook Magazine
We are living through a period of rapid technological change, arising largely from advances in artificial intelligence and robotics. Consequences that could emerge are widely debated, leading to predictions ranging from an optimistic vision of a utopian future to fears of a dystopian nightmare. None of us know where society is headed, but if we want technology to benefit rather than harm humanity, this is a conversation that should concern all of us.
CraftBook Magazine emerged from my experience working in the technology sector and an interest in topics including mythology, history, science fiction, storytelling and the creative process. Content on this site reflects those interests and ranges across technology, business, creativity and society, along with interactive elements, which I hope you find entertaining and informative. It has been said the journey is often more important than the destination. In a similar manner, I might not know the answers, but this is my contribution to the conversation.
Discussions regarding our future are important, but we must also deal with the practical reality of needing to earn a living. Therefore, in addition to articles on topics such as artificial intelligence, green technology and the Industrial Revolution, I have also written about copywriting, digital marketing and the future of the open web, from the perspective of small businesses and freelancers. The CraftBook Magazine website is a product of my personal journey, but I hope others will find it to be of interest.
