“Superflux began with a napkin sketch, and I still have it! It was during the credit crisis in 2008 when Jon was working on his own start-up, and I was at Nokia.”

WRONG WAY is out today! And it’s the November @esquire Book Club pick! I had a wonderful time speaking with @adriennemwest about long commutes, writing characters who aren’t motivated by money, and the failed promises of AI esquire.com/entertainment/bo…

The Quiet Enchanting from @Superflux and @CulturalKings projects an imagined rewilding through the face of the derelict Bush House SW Wing onto the recently pedestrianised Strand. It’s a nice conceit, as though Ursula Le Guin has just been appointed head of Westminster planning.
We literally have some big art wrapping the façade of Bush House on the Strand! First time for us @Superflux to develop such a public work, with thanks to @CulturalKings 💫 Come by and spend some time with The Quiet Enchanting ✨

Beautiful and critical words from @anabjain at the opening of The Quiet Enchanting @Superflux
“The words we use are important and any words that establish a binary are profoundly dangerous. Any words that establish an either/or, them/us, will never lead to safety or freedom.”

Mining the minerals essential for a green energy transition may appear to solve a problem, but there never is just one problem.
