After evolving a digital heart (not the pacemaker kind) out of inky veins, Jamie just wants an excuse to learn something new. But he’s fully aware his 32 years’ experience in the news industry has given him just enough knowledge to be dangerous. International affairs. History. Defence. Science. Space. Technology. He has a fascination for them all – particularly when it comes to social fallout. Translating tough concepts into common terms is his craft. His passion is to explore the big picture encompassing world events.
