Exponential View

Azeem Azhar’s Weekly Wondermissive: Future, Tech & Society

Hello everyone,

I’m on a short family break this week. I have asked my dear friend, the polymath, Marko Ahtisaari, to step in and handle Exponential View this week. Marko and I first met during the heady days of the dotcom bubble, and have been in close touch ever since. Most recently, teaching my kids how to use the Roli and Ableton.

He is a philosopher, a musician, a renowned design leader (he was SVP of design at Nokia for several years), and is now the Artistic Director of the Helsinki Festival, the largest annual arts festival in the Nordics.

I’m grateful that he stepped in to help. To show Marko your appreciation, hit ❤️ at the top of this email!

Have a wonderful week,
Azeem
