In Spinster, Ashton-Warner tells the story of Anna Vorontosov, ‘spinster and genius’, who works as a teacher for Maori children in a remote New Zealand town, in the North Island area of Hawke’s Bay. I therefore quickly located a copy of Sylvia Ashton-Warner’s Spinster, a book which I had wanted to read for years, on a pre-Christmas trip to an Oxfam Bookshop, and picked it up immediately.

![]() ![]() If we are distracted, this process is disrupted. Things are transferred from working memory to long-term memory when we attend to them. Instead, this is about the technology being designed to be as distracting as possible, eliminating the potential for attentiveness and deep thought. This isn't the cliche of people walking around with their faces looking down at their phones. Modern information technology has some remarkable promise, but it also changes our relationship with the world. It suddenly became possible to think deeply about a subject, to follow a line of argument to its logical conclusion, and to teach oneself. Printed media changed our relationship with language from something spoken and performative to something internal and private. It opened up possibilities for travel and navigation, and it changed the way our brains interpreted spatial information. Instead of being intimately involved with our surroundings, we learned to map our 3D space onto a 2D representation and back again. Cartography changed our relationship with the physical world. Instead of consisting of variable epicycles within cycles, time became consistent, linear, and measurable. The invention of the clock changed our relationship with time. ![]() ![]() The author contends the way we live our lives is affected by technology and reflected in the way our brain thinks. He recommended this book, and I'm glad he did.

Though it limits its vision in some conventional ways, this book is an excellent introduction to and summary of many of the key features of neoliberalism, a shift in social relations that has swept the globe since the 1970s. ![]() ![]() ![]() For customers located outside the UK, if the actual cost of shipping your order is lower than the price paid, then a refund of the difference will be issued. ***** Free shipping available to UK buyers.
