The story of Lavoisier and the impact of technology on governance structures was really thought-provoking. you're so good at seamlessly connecting these fascinating tales of history with our current landscape. You're a wealth of historical anecdotes! Love your perspective on how software is shaping power dynamics. Keep up the great work Helen ~ Gonna go back and read some of your previous pieces!

Thank you for your kind words Anthony! Really appreciate your stopping by :D Funny enough, I actually posted the wrong link in the forum haha, the most updated essay in this series is indeed about Napoleon and Kafka, so the link is here: https://earthlyfortunes.substack.com/p/of-napoleon-and-kafka-a-brief-genealogy. Let me know what you think!

Yet another juicy episode of this great series. And while you're guiding us through the historical evolution of the world of software, you're becoming my personal history teacher. Thank you, Helen, for another awesome piece. :)

Ahhh Silvio, you are totally flattering me! I feel unworthy of it LOL. But if my work and curiosity yield some fruit and get awesome people (such as, you ;)) to also dive into the rabbit hole into the Unseen wonderland of history and how it connects to our life now, then my wish is fulfilled to the highest order. Thank you for always been here and cheering me up! :D
