A series of posts about some of the important books behind mine, UberTherapy published this week by @bristoluniversitypress. First by US psychotherapists including Linda Michaels @psianofficial. If you're a UK therapist this is the first step in understanding the uberization.

my latest essay for @wired.com

www.wired.com/story/genera...

"Al companies have speedrun the Silicon Valley trajectory."
