The Etymologicon for the social media generation: from the @etymologynerd of Instagram and TikTok (aka Adam Aleksic), comes a deep dive into how algorithms, social media and the internet are changing the way we communicate and think.

Online etymologist Adam Aleksic shines a light on the roots of words that we don’t realise have come from unexpected places – from incel culture, from the innovation of users trying to get around content moderation algorithms, from the marketing speak that has invaded our personal lives.

An energetic, astonishing journey into language and the internet, "Algospeak" reveals the bigger social story of how language shapes us, just as much as we shape it.

Travel/Memoir

"The Medina the Old City of Fez is the best-preserved, medieval walled city in the world. Inside this vibrant Moroccan community, internet cafes and mobile phones coexist with a maze of donkey-trod alleyways, thousand-year-old sewer systems, and Arab-style houses, gorgeous with intricate, if often shabby, mosaic work. While vacationing in Morocco, Suzanna Clarke and her husband, Sandy, are inspired to buy a dilapidated, centuries-old riad in Fez with the aim of restoring it to its original splendor, using only traditional craftsmen and handmade materials. So begins a remarkable adventure that is bewildering, at times hilarious, and ultimately immensely rewarding. A House in Fez chronicles their meticulous restoration, but it is also a journey into Moroccan customs and lore and a window into the lives of its people as friendships blossom. When the riad is finally returned to its former glory, Suzanna finds she has not just restored an old house, but also her soul."

Here, Dita writes with startling clarity on the horrors and joys of a life delayed by the Holocaust.
