‘Witty, rigorous, and as urgent as a fire alarm’ Dorian Lynskey‘Cooly prosecutorial’ GuardianNobody meant for this to happen.

In so doing, they bring unrest to previously settled communities and erode our relationships. Social warming has happened gradually – as a by-product of our preposterously convenient digital existence. But the gradual deterioration of our attitudes and behaviour on- and offline – this vicious cycle of anger and outrage – is real. And it can be corrected. Here’s how.
