I have been in back to back meetings, and I didn’t even realize how long my Pocket queue had become till yesterday afternoon, when I say down to catch up on all my reading. In fact, I just got done, and here are seven picks for the weekend. Hope you enjoy them:

  • Anita Brookner: The last interview: The Booker prize winner and author of Hotel du Lac passed away this past week at the age of 87. Here is the last interview with her. [The Telegraph] (Additional reading: her obituary and tribute in The Guardian.)
  • The Dribbilization of Design: an essay about the current state of modern Internet design and why it is so homogenous. [Morgane Santos]
  • How liberal is Denmark really?: The Scandinavian nation is pretty hawkish when it comes to immigrants and refugees. [NY Review of Books]
  • Why do we work so hard?: Good question. [1843 Magazine]
  • Saving the self in the age of selfie: This is one of the best essays you will read about how we as people relate to computers. It is time for us to humanize the digital experience. [The American Scholar]
  • Lousiana’s vanishing island: what if this happens all across the world and impacts big cities like Miami? [The Guardian]
  • Memory faded, forgotten life: Who are we, when we forget? A sad, poignant and heart breaking writing. [Tim Kreider, AARP]

Here are some of my recent writings, in case you missed these:

  • Why Uber & GM are on a head on collision. 
  • Look who’s missing from Fortune’s best places to work.
  • Werner and a decade of Amazon cloud.
