The technology was heading toward powerful, general intelligence AI and microtechnology. ![]() Past the first and second ‘winter’ of AI, but before Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov and gave popular culture a look at what the future might hold.īut unlike the fanciful adventures of Star Wars, the world that Stephenson brought to life wasn’t hard to imagine. The book was published in 1995, twenty-seven years ago. But rather than craft a story in the spirit of a swashbuckling adventure of Luke Skywalker, author Neal Stephenson paints a neo-victorian world and tells the story of a young girl, Nell as the story’s protagonist.

![]() ![]() It’s something that even men hate-and they fight with baldness problems much more than we women! Thinking about losing our hair-something so frivolous and yet so decisive for our identity-disconcerts us. We get a haircut or new style to turn the page, as if everything we want to forget, together with our precious hair, would stay on the hairdresser’s floor.īecause yes, hair is sacred, and we only change it when we need to recognize ourselves again when we look in the mirror. Women know this very well: we change our hair color to feel more “ourselves,” to shout to the world something we have inside-to sometimes delude ourselves that by lightening our hair color we can wash away other things. ![]() This adorable story won this year's Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. ![]() ![]() ![]() But I won't rock the boat by telling her sad story. My favourite is Norah's ark (did you know Noah had a sister?). His collection of imaginary 'castles' is a surreal treat. Thompson is a one-off, a wit, a virtuoso. And Castles by Colin Thompson (Hutchinson £10.99) is unconstrainedly escapist. It is marvellous when picture books take on big, metaphysical questions but we all need a ladleful of fantasy too. But it is also about regeneration (the little acorn that grows into a tree is, as one of my sons said, 'the only bit of life left behind'). ![]() And it tackles the subject of death through the story of an ancient oak that dies, leaving behind a young friend (the lonely tree of the title). It is a collaboration between the Child Bereavement Trust and the Tree Council. But my children's response has been so intense that I now see it has something very special about it. The illustrations are compelling but not to my taste: strange trees with leaves like sprouting broccoli, Smurf-like faces. I am not sure what I would have thought of The Lonely Tree by Nicholas Halliday (Halliday Books £12.99) if I'd been reading it by myself. ![]() ![]() This type of unprecedented flexibility would have been impossible without the counterintuitive and radical management principles that cofounder Reed Hastings established from the very beginning.

When her aunt dies, she leaves Jane something rather unusual in her will. For Jane, nothing in the real world ever lives up to what she sees as the idyllic life of Elizabeth Bennet. ![]() She is obsessed with it to the point of it hindering her life. Jane Hayes has a secret obsession: Pride and Prejudice. I think it managed to find its own unique style instead of trying to strive to be as Austen-like as possible. ![]() I think Austenland was definitely one of the better ones. I will probably pick up anything with Austen's name on it and thankfully there are lots of spin offs out there! Some better than others, of course.
