For Vittles Magazine, I wrote about what happens food photography - a practice steeped in stagecraft - meets the synthetic horrors of AI images. Gorgeous original illustration by Ibrahim Rayintakath.

Nudging for Verso books, which lost £1m when a distributor recently went bankrupt. For an independent press, this is a huge loss and they need support getting their Autumn titles out and moving their inventory. Consider helping if you can! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/versobooks/comrades-verso-needs-your-support-for-radical-publishing

She’s here! SYSTEMS ULTRA: MAKING SENSE OF TECHNOLOGY IN A COMPLEX WORLD is out today, in the UK and US, published by Verso. I am so delighted that it is finally in the world - I don’t think I can say it better than @tegabrain who says, “It can be surprisingly hard to articulate what a "system" actually is, but thank goodness we have Georgina Voss whose humorous and thought-provoking book vibrantly unpacks the nuances of systems and system thinking”. https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/991-systems-ultra?_pos=5&_sid=4beca2048&_ss=r

And the final endorsement for Systems Ultra is in, from
@tegabrain (w/bonus background sheerleg). Tega’s brilliant work on systems has been such a lodestar for this whole //thing//, so just imagine a string of happy/delighted/navigation-related emojis here 🧭✨ (2 months to go!)

In today’s Guardian Long Read: an excerpt from my book HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS on my visit to the Dinorwig pumped-storage hydroelectric station in north Wales and why I love it so:

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2023/nov/02/beauty-of-infrastructure-electric-mountain-dinorwig-power-station-north-wales

Not in the excerpt: Me swearing loudly in a Welsh cafe about how the UK government sold it off. Also the private company that owns it has since stopped offering public tours.

Electric mountain: the power station that shows the beauty of infrastructure

The long read: Utilitarian as they may be, some civic projects are so monumental they approach the sublime. And one of the most elegant is hidden inside a mountain in Wales
