Written in 2011. Every prediction has come true. In 2011, David Wortley sat down and wrote a quiet warning. He described how social media would hijack our attention, how algorithms would begin making decisions for us, how our dependency on digital technology was deepening in ways most people had not yet noticed.

Matt Watts never planned to write a book. But his story—from a turbulent childhood marked by his mother’s illness, his parents’ bitter divorce, and years of instability, to building a £25 million design and build company working with some of the country’s most famous brands—demanded to be told. Growing up in 1970s and ’80s England, Matt learned early that trust could be fragile and love could come with conditions. When his mother left for Spain with her abusive partner, eleven-year-old Matt made a quiet promise to himself: he would survive—and he would live differently.

My bill in 1997 was around £30.000, however many others involved in the case had the same costs and they didn't have legal aid.
