Marcus du Sautoy

As a teenager at boarding school, I endured eight visits to chapel each and every week for seven years. So you could say I've had my lifetime dose. Even so, it is going to be huge fun to sit down with @marcusdusautoy.bsky.social next month at a multi faith festival.

We’ve spent 8 months reading 10,000,000 books (128 in binary) and here are the 13 (a prime number) that we’ve chosen for the longlist for this year’s International Booker Prize 2026 @thebookerprizes.com

Thanks for sharing. Fascinating to see how this aspect of AI develops.

A world of order and chaos Order and disorder are central to our understanding of the world. Biologists define life as the expending of energy to create order.  In neuroscience, a 2023 MIT study concluded the mind operates in…

Many argue that order and disorder are human concepts, depending on perspective. | https://buff.ly/4gE6uPs
