Now that I’ve finished university – albeit without any proof thereof quite yet, I haven’t officially graduated quite yet – I finally have time to read interesting books again. ie, I am no longer being taught, so I have time to learn.<\/p>\n

Currently in the process of being read: The Global Soul<\/em>, In the Bubble<\/em>, and Designing Design<\/em>. Many more are waiting once I’ve finished these!<\/p>\n

The Global Sou<\/a>l<\/a>, Pico Iyer: Reflections on home, belonging, cultures, and existing between them. Strikes a lot of chords, and brings back lots of memories of college<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the Bubble: Designing in a Complex World<\/a>, John Thackara: Thoughts on the place technology has in today’s world, and the directions it seems to be taking – and where society, ethics, and, ultimately, people fit into it all. More thought provoking questions than simple answers, but sometimes thats all that’s needed. Not an easy read, but a satisfying one.

Designing Design<\/a>, Kenya Hara: Real proof that physical books can never be completely superceded by digital versions – a lovely physical object inside and out, with some stunning work and interesting writing to boot. Not necessarily a book for reading cover to cover like the other two, but wonderful to dip into and to be reminded why I love design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
