What are Wordsworth?

In this episode Dr Pip Thornton tells me how a chance encounter with Google autocorrect led her to research the world of attention economy and the value of words online.

Pip Thornton is a Chancellor’s Fellow in GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh. Her theory and practice revolves around exploring the politics of existence in online spaces, and critiquing and making visible structures of power within the digital economy with creative methods.
