Piers Dankworth

Piers Dankworth came to technology journalism via a decade covering garden furniture for a trade publication, an experience he describes as "unexpectedly good preparation for understanding disruption." He joined Eleutheria's technology desk in 2020, immediately establishing himself as someone with strong opinions about things he had recently discovered. His column covers artificial intelligence, blockchain, the metaverse, and whatever concept has most recently been explained to him at a conference in Amsterdam. Piers owns seventeen smart home devices, none of which currently speak to each other. He has a newsletter with 340 subscribers, 280 of whom are personal acquaintances who felt unable to decline. He lives in Shoreditch and is considering relocating to somewhere he describes as "more authentic," by which he means Hackney.
