⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - “A sublime piece of fiction.
Kind of like District 9 meets Back to the Future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - “Brilliant read and I do not even like sci-fi” What some readers are saying about his latest book, Snowing in Johannesburg. Tweet Mark at or visit his author facebook page at. Mark wanted to see what he could do with his time, rather than firing small, irate birds at intricate constructions. Mark's first book, The Singularity, was written over the period of two years, on his iPhone, on the tube to and from work. Mark moved to the United Kingdom where he now works as a full time computer geek, husband and dad, and a part time writer and photographer. Mark Rodseth was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1976, and spent the first twenty five years of his life in a country that transformed from white ruled Apartheid to a full democracy. This story contains profanity and scenes of a violent and sexual nature. In his journey, he uncovers a disturbing truth about the corporation which chaperones humanity. The Singularity is a harrowing story of a brilliant scientist who turns against uCorp and joins The Resistance to destroy them from the inside. I am going to make amends for my crimes against humanity. I am Peter Stalk, a scientist responsible for the uCorp systems which monitor status updates and interpret their emotion and look for anomalies – or what uCorp call Paradox Alerts. And those that stray will face the horror of Re-Socialisation.
These are the three principles that contain the human spirit: Transparency. This is a society addicted to technology - a society who have sacrificed their privacy and freedom for convenience and security. This is a world where citizens are monitored and profiled through mandated status updates. This is a time where the world is ruled by a mighty Corporation, uCorp. Those that fail to comply are taken away for Re-Socialisation. But avoid the terror zone.The Singularity is Sci Fi Dystopia where the world is controlled by UCorp, a Big Brother corporation who monitor and profile people through mandated social networking.
To grow, take yourself outside your comfort zone. Think about diversity on the inside, as well as the outside Be present with your teams as much as possible, especially with remote workers Most leaders aren't taught leadership, they have to learn it To maintain trust, keep your promises and reward others for keeping theirs Some of my takeaways on leadership from the panel discussion:
Our esteemed Ross Sleight also delivered a brilliant talk on from Project to Product. My highlight was the panel discussion on Technology leadership with Alex Goldbloom, Daria Grishina, Mary-Jane Newton and Steve Janoo. Great to attend the Global CIO Institute event in the impossibly prestigious Oxford University yesterday.
