Self-confessed "digi-drunkard" Will Self on predictive texting, spellchecking and algorithms.
Will tries to convince himself - and us - that his use of technology is considered and practical, not the "glug-glugging of the cyber sozzled"!
But, he admits, "a great river of denial runs through me...as I fidget and tweezer my way through the glassy looking-glass and into the virtual world".
Producer: Adele Armstrong.
