On this Bank Holiday Monday, Jonny Torrance comments on Last One Laughing, deciding we’re less in control than we think; Henna Cundill suggests that AI will never codify the many unruly exceptions to rules as they are what make us human; Jamie Mulvaney asks whether or not a funeral is the appropriate backdrop for diplomacy.
This week, Beatrice Scudeler revisits Kazuo Ishiguro’s brilliant novel, Never Let Me Go as the perfect Frankenstein story for today; Tom Dove invites us to visit the Friendship Lab and take risks by investing in our friends; Ryan Rodrigues introduces us to the people he believes will be most affected by legalising assisted dying.
