Here's a short chapter from Cameron Crowe's brilliant new autobiography where he describes exactly how he found a writing voice.

#blog #CameronCrowe #book #memoir #reading #NonFiction #fun #sex #GrowingUp #youth #writing
The book cover: orange background, printed book scuffs. Black title on top, black author name on bottom, white subtitle—'A Memoir'—underneath a photo of the author in his late teens, I guess: long hair, tongue out, wide and open eyes.

I've written a blog post of my favourite music that I've heard in 2025. The list doesn't start with music, but still.

What's your favourite music in 2025?

I've written a blog post about music-streaming platforms, what Spotify have done—to all humans, not only to musicians and songwriters—and listed Spotify alternatives.

An UMAW take on Spotify Unwrapped: a list of how Spotify have invested in war tech, welcomed AI, played ICE recruitment ads, and still pays 0.003 per stream to musicians.

I've reviewed 'Enshittification', the book about the term that Cory Doctorow coined.

The book is sprightly written, funny, filled with facts, and it makes me angry with enshittifiers.

Cory Doctorow - 'Enshittification' – Niklas reviews
A book about digital-platform deterioration and what we can do against it.

I've reviewed Kevin Rowland's wondrous, harrowing, and deeply soulful memoir, 'Bless Me Father'.

This is likely my pick for the memoir of the year.

I've briefly dissected Elon Musk's recent possible one-trillion-USD bonus that would make him earn around two million times the median of an average American.

I've written about two kinds of serial killers: the one who murders people with their own hands and the one that murders people from behind their desk.

#blog #CarolineFraser #BenjaminNathans #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #CriticalThinking #EdZitron
The cover of Caroline Fraser's new book 'Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers'. Ted Bundy's head is partly seen against the backdrop of a chimney from where tonnes of highly dangerous chemicals are dispersed into the atmosphere and, ultimately, into humans, animals, and the future. The book cover of Benjamin Nathans's 'To the Success of our Hopeless Cause: the Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement'. White background, a glass of transparent liquid. The glass has been tipped over, the liquid having run.
