Watched any good documentaries lately?

When your favorite TNW team met up for a film night last week, we decided to watch a documentary about our work-field: WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 billion Unicorn. Always interesting to see how people can blindly follow a lunatic with charisma learn some do’s and MEGA don'ts about company culture.

I don’t know about you peeps, but I always feel very good about myself (and maybe a little smug) after watching a documentary.

So if you too have completed all episodes of Sophie: A Murder in West Cork, and you’re looking for your next documentary binge, why not check out the IDFA website? For those of you who aren't familiar, IDFA stands for International Documentary Filmfestival Amsterdam. It’s exactly what the name implies, and they’ve got loads of amazing screenings covering a wide range of topics, including tech & AI!

Have fun and train ya brain!

Need a little pick-me-up after your docu marathon? One of our members recently suggested the book The Kangaroo Chronicles by Marc-Uwe Kling.

This comedic satire contains short stories about Marc-Uwe and a kangaroo, who live together in a classical Berlin flat-sharing community. The kangaroo is a communist, really into Nirvana and movies with Bud Spencer – preferably without Terence Hill. Deep questions of life are debated: Is lying in a hammock already a kind of passive resistance? Must the Kangaroo place its pouch onto the conveyor belt at the airport security check? Did the Kangaroo really fight for the Vietcong? And why is it addicted to champagne truffles?

This book will have you crying with laughter, pondering life's serious questions, and in the end... begging for more.
