Welcome to my Substack!
Have you ever wondered what the relationship is between technologies, societies and states? Do you wish you knew more about the historical origins of our current AI boom? Are you curious about what people of the past thought about the arrival of technologies like the telegraph? Fear not, you are in the right place!
My name is Sebastian Rose, I am a postdoctoral historian of technology and empire interested in how technologies of the past, present and future are imagined, used and understood.

I will be using this platform to release a newsletter and share my new podcast Beyond the Paper. I have an extensive list of experts and guests who I plan on interviewing in the coming months.
I will also use the Substack as a general blog space to share a collection of online debris and to collage scattered collections of writings, images, sounds and visuals.
Sign up and stay tuned!
