Reading


The books and essays that shape a clearer view of technology — and a few that simply make for good company.

Nicole Junkermann reading by a window

Reading is where most of these notes begin. Nicole Junkermann keeps a slow, returning list — titles read once and then read again, marked up in the margins and carried from one project to the next. The subjects range across design, attention and the quiet history of the tools we now take for granted.

This is not a list to finish. It grows and shifts with the questions of the moment, and a single chapter can be worth more than a whole shelf. What follows is a snapshot of what is open on the desk right now.

On the shelf

The Internet We Choose

On the everyday decisions that quietly shape the networks we live inside.

On the shelf

Human-Centred Design

A reminder that the best tools start with people, not features.

On the shelf

Choosing fewer tools, used with more intention and less noise.

On the shelf

The Art of Focus

Short essays on attention, and why it is worth protecting.

A page read slowly is worth more than a shelf skimmed in a hurry.From the notebook of Nicole Junkermann
