What I Was Wrong About Before He’d Even Sat Down (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ll admit, before he’d even sat down, I already had a picture in my mind about James. Army officer. Young Tory. Bourgeois. These words are shorthand for many of us, and they say far more about me and my own prejudgements than they do about him.Then he told me about a wall – a wall which had been graffitied in the village he was raised in, right by the church and the war memorial. And in talking about it, I could see what he actually holds sacred: faith, sacrifice, the specific, unglamorous work
Hyper-Social, But Disembodied: The Cost of the Convenience Economy (opens the original)
Read excerpt

How much money would you pay in housing costs, or transport costs, to be able to get home for your child’s bedtime every day?
