Coming Out of Hibernation
A quick update on my plans for Byte-Sized History in 2025
Thank you all for your patience. It’s been about five months since I last posted!
A lot has been happening, both personally and professionally, that required me to focus elsewhere over the winter. But I’m excited to return with a new project!
Over the next few months, I’ll be tracing the origins of artificial intelligence by looking at earlier technologies that shaped the 20th century. The goal is to understand how we got here—not just through computers but through war, infrastructure, and state-driven innovation.
Along the way, I’ll swerve into related questions and ideas, from forgotten futures to the politics of technological progress.
Looking forward to sharing more soon.
Michael
