Writing

I'm currently working on the 3rd book in my Next Evolution series, this one (The Digital Underworld) takes us deeper in the world of Cyber - from hacking to warfare.


It's an examination of how our digital landscape has changed, and is continuing to change, and what we need to be considering for the  future as technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace.


The genie is well and truly out of the bottle with all things Artificial Intelligence (AI) and it is both an opportunity and a serious concern.



Coming Soon

A monthly briefing that will focus on key topics around  moving towards Human Aware architecture and design, looking at relevant items in the news, a deep-dive article, a view on what it means from a Public Safety and Security perspective, and what is the Metric Shift to start measuring what matters.
