Thoughtful, prescient yet also self-deprecating, Lorcan Dempsey's blog has been a must read for many years. This collection brings together some highlights spanning 10 years between 2003 and 2013. Curated into loosely themed chapters, they provide an accessible summary of some significant trends during that period and better illustrate how good Dempsey has been at identifying and describing key ideas. This for me was a lively reminder of how things are changing and how much there is yet to do. I inhaled it in one sitting. ( )
