Stephen Downes

I have considered turning my hand to writing a book - a real book, not just a collection of blog posts - but I have also determined that such a book would not consist of the typical Wall of Text, not simply because the format is user-hostile, but also because I think text along is unable to capture the emotions and ambiguities a description of a complex world requires. And this leads me in the direction of writing - or 'creating', I guess - a book that looks more like a slide deck. No, not just a series of bullet points (I could just ask ChatGPT to do that for me if I wanted) but something that captures multiple perspectives in a single presentation. That's not one of the explanations offered here in this article, but I think it should be.
