This is a useful post from Julian Stodd because it puts broad swathes of his thinking into context. The social age is here presented as a landscape (as is so much of his work) and the article takes on a tour of some of the key landmarks, including connection, leadership, learning and culture. find all of this interesting but at the same time too easy. By that, what I mean is that if we explain away all these phenomena as social phenomena, we elide the key questions of what the actual mechanisms are that produce such observable phenomena as connection, leadership, learning and culture (if indeed these are even the right terms to use). But there's no denying the depth and insight of Stodd's work, though it takes paying attention to it over a longish period of time to get a sense of the whole.
