"Facade retention" projects happen when the materials wrapping around a building are deemed too important to destroy. The facade is propped, the floors are demolished, then replaced. @WillArnoldEng @SigmaScience amzn.to/47jmqEw #ad #StevosNovelIdeas #architecture

It's finally here, and it's very purple!
Flying cars. Hyperloops. Smart cities. We've been promised the future for decades.
In The Long History of the Future, @njkobie explores why tomorrow's technologies never seem to arrive, and what actually happens instead.
The paperback is out now!

I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art behind it.

Happy to see an extract from my book on adaptation up on @BackchannelNews, part of a series leading up to COP 30.
The first piece asks, why adapt and why do we need the finance for adaptation at COP 30?

My new book is coming out in the UK this week! It's for anyone interested in adaptation.
I argue we need to address the hard choices coming up. Choices like should communities move away from the coast and what role should the military play.
Please pre order now!

In roughly half of Agatha Christie's stories, the murder weapon is poison. And while, as a fiction writer, she had no obligation to be accurate, chemist-turned-author Kathryn Harkup argues that her attention to scientific accuracy makes her books stronger. 🧪

ALT The poisons that Agatha Christie used, they date her novels as much as the clothes, the conversation, the cars ... because a lot of the poisons, what we call poisons now, were part of medicine. - Kathryn Harkup
