Short essays on technology, systems, and the humans who build and live within them.

This newsletter explores questions across cybersecurity, privacy, emerging technology, governance, information systems, psychology, and the social sciences. The subjects vary, but the underlying interest is consistent. How do systems represent complexity, shape behavior, distribute control, and influence what people can see, know, and decide?

Some pieces begin with a technological or organizational problem. Others start with a question about human behavior, knowledge, or society as a way into understanding the systems around us.

Posts are typically 300-700 words and published irregularly. I write when I believe there is something worth examining.
