Between the Boundaries comprises twenty-six essays that follow the course of a single year and cover topics that range from the habits of beavers to the progression of Artificial Intelligence, journeying from Wales to Australia with many stops in between.
Between the Boundaries follows the course of a single year
and covers topics that range from the habits of beavers to the
progression of Artificial Intelligence, journeying from Wales
to Australia with many stops in between. Humorous, thought-
provoking and insightful, it sweeps over and beneath the
boundaries, both visible and invisible, that cover the world.
The author visits a new assessment of the Elizabethan
polymath John Dee, and compares the relative claims to
accuracy of different portrayals of Dylan Thomas. He goes
underground to a former nuclear bunker, now made into an
unpeopled data centre, and he dissects the potential future
of the BBC. Pivotal moments in history are revisited, and
largely-neglected artists remembered.
Between the Boundaries is an eclectic personal journey, fresh
and wide in scope, of encounters across genres, eras and
continents.
